Frida Kahlo // "I had something in my throat. It felt like I had swallowed the whole world."

Bob Dylan // "I wanted to understand things and then be free of them. I needed to learn how to telescope things, ideas. Things were too big to see all at once, like all the books in the library...everything laying around on all the tables. You might be able to put it all into one paragraph or into one verse of a song if you could get it right."
Viggo Mortensen // "To be an artist, you don't have to compose music or paint or be in the movies or write books. It's just a way of living. It has to do with paying attention, remembering, filtering what you see and answering back, participating in life."
David Lynch // "The world is, sort of, as it is. The way you go through it changes."
Salvador Dali // "I enjoy tremendously every single moment of my life because death, all the time, is very close watching me and death might catch me. And every five minutes death don't catch me, I enjoy tremendously."
Oscar Wilde // "A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament. Its beauty comes from the fact that the author is what he is. It has nothing to do with the fact that other people want what they want."
Anais Nin // "My life is slowed up by thought and the need to understand what I am living."
