John Lee Hooker // "I don't think about time. You're here when you're here. I think about today, staying in tune."
Jeff Buckley // "People usually like to travel around in packs, because they need reassurance, they constantly need to be justified by the acceptance of others and that’s such a moveable feast, you never know if you’re up or down and I really can’t trust that...and I’ve learned not to. It can give you the illusion that you are correct just because you are accepted. And really it may not be true."
Jean-Paul Sartre // "We are all free, completely free. We can each do any damn thing we want. Which is more than most of us dare to imagine."
Rainer Maria Rilke // "Do not believe that he who seeks to comfort you lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. His life has much difficulty and sadness and remains far behind yours. Were it otherwise he would never have been able to find those words."
Pina Bausch // "Repetition is not repetition. The same action makes you feel something completely different by the end."
Simone de Beauvoir // "The point is not for women simply to take power out of men’s hands, since that wouldn’t change anything about the world. It’s a question precisely of destroying that notion of power."
Georgia O'Keeffe // "I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing that I wanted to do."
Frida Kahlo // "Nothing is absolute. Everything changes, everything moves, everything revolves, everything flies and goes away."
D.H. Lawrence // "Be a good animal, true to your instincts."
Kurt Vonnegut // "America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves... Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor."
Ernest Hemingway // "When you love you wish to do things for. You wish to sacrifice for. You wish to serve."
David Lynch // "I don’t like going out anyway. I like to stay at home. Of course I do think it’s important sometimes to go out and see new things and feel the so-called reality. And that can conjure ideas. But I think human beings can sense the air and feel what’s going on in the world without going out."
