Aldous Huxley // "It's dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly... Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them...throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you...trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That's why you must walk so lightly...on tiptoes and no luggage...completely unencumbered."
Arthur Miller // "I’m a writer, and everything I write is both a confession and a struggle to understand things about myself and this world in which I live. This is what everyone’s work should be...whether you dance or paint or sing. It is a confession, a baring of your soul, your faults, those things you simply cannot or will not understand or accept. You stumble forward, confused, and you share. If you’re lucky, you learn something."
Tilda Swinton // "I like not knowing where I’m going."
Bruce Lee // "Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system."
Bette Davis // "If it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you."
Katharine Hepburn // "I have no romantic feelings about age. Either you are interesting at any age or you are not. There is nothing particularly interesting about being old...or being young for that matter."
Bob Dylan // "I change during the course of a day. I wake and I'm one person, and when I go to sleep I know for certain I'm somebody else."
Virginia Woolf // "I begin to long for some little language such as lovers use, broken words, inarticulate words, like the shuffling of feet on pavement."
Jack Kerouac // "Everything is ecstasy, inside... Close your eyes, let your hands and nerve-endings drop, stop breathing for 3 seconds, listen to the silence inside...and you will remember."
Yohji Yamamoto // "I think perfection is ugly. Somewhere in the things humans make, I want to see scars, failure, disorder, distortion."
Jean-Luc Godard // "Why must one talk? Often one shouldn't talk, but live in silence. The more one talks, the less the words mean."
David Lynch // "There's a safety in thinking in a diner. You can have your coffee or your milkshake, and you can go off into strange dark areas, and always come back to the safety of the diner."
