Clint Eastwood // "I tried being reasonable, I didn't like it."
Jeff Buckley // "When a person sings, their body, their mouth, their eyes, their words, their voice says all these unspeakable things that you can’t explain but that mean something anyway. It’s a weird thing...at the end of the night I feel strange, because I feel I’ve told everybody all my secrets."
Tennessee Williams // "Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?"
Hedy Lamarr // "I’ll read you something pretty: People are unreasonable, illogical and self centered; love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, alternative motives; do good anyway. The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shut down by the smallest people with the smallest minds; think big anyway. What you spend years building maybe destroyed overnight; build anyway. Give the world the best you have and you’ll be kicked into defeat; give the world the best you’ve got anyway."
Claude Monet // "The light constantly changes, and that alters the atmosphere and beauty of things every minute."
Steve Jobs // "For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."
Snoop Dogg // "The most important decision I've made in business? The choices of people I have around me. When I first started I brought everybody with me, my homies from the neighborhood, criminals. I just said 'Come on everybody, we made it.' Then I had to realize we didn't make it. I made it."
Ernest Hemingway // "Don’t ever kid yourself about loving someone. It is just that most people are not lucky enough ever to have it. What you have...whether it lasts just through today and a part of tomorrow, or whether it lasts for a long life is the most important thing that can happen to a human being. There will always be people who say it does not exist because they cannot have it. But I tell you it is true and that you have it and that you are lucky even if you die tomorrow."
Alberto Giacometti // "The more I work, the more I see things differently...everything gains in grandeur every day, becomes more and more unknown, more and more beautiful."
John Cassavetes // "Say what you are. Not what you would like to be. Not what you have to be. Just say what you are. And what you are is good enough."
Penelope Cruz // "I miss the time when people wrote letters to each other...I belong to another age."
Hunter S. Thompson // "Every man is the sum total of his reactions to experience. As your experiences differ and multiply, you become a different man, and hence your perspective changes. This goes on and on... So it would seem foolish, would it not, to adjust our lives to the demands of a goal we see from a different angle every day? How could we ever hope to accomplish anything... The answer, then, must not deal with goals at all... We do not strive to be firemen, we do not strive to be bankers, nor policemen, nor doctors. WE STRIVE TO BE OURSELVES. But don’t misunderstand me. I don’t mean that we can’t BE firemen, bankers, or doctors...but that we must make the goal conform to the individual, rather than make the individual conform to the goal... Beware of looking for goals: look for a way of life. Decide how you want to live and then see what you can do to make a living WITHIN that way of life."
