David Lynch // "Inside, we are ageless...and when we talk to ourselves, it’s the same age of the person we were talking to when we were little. It’s the body that is changing around that ageless center."
Pablo Picasso // "Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working."
Henry Miller // "What I want is to open up. I want to know what’s inside me. I want everybody to open up. I’m like an imbecile with a can opener in his hand, wondering where to begin...to open up the earth. I know that underneath the mess everything is marvelous. I’m sure of it."
Arundhati Roy // "Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing."
Anais Nin // "We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations."
Miles Davis // "When you hit a wrong note, it’s the next note that makes it good or bad."
Bill Murray // "The last time doesn’t exist. It’s only this time. And everything is going to be different this time. There’s only now."
Audrey Hepburn // "I believe, every day, you should have at least one exquisite moment."
Pina Bausch // "It is almost unimportant whether a work finds an understanding audience. One has to do it because one believes that it is the right thing to do. We are not only here to please."
William S. Burroughs // "Whenever you are threatened by a hostile presence...emit a thick cloud of love like an octopus squirts out ink."
Pier Paolo Pasolini // "I had a profound desire to be alone, because only alone, lost, silent, on foot, can I recognize things."
Maya Angelou // "Because of the routines we follow, we often forget that life is an ongoing adventure...and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art: to bring all our energies to each encounter, to remain flexible enough to notice and admit when what we expected to happen did not happen. We need to remember that we are created creative and can invent new scenarios as frequently as they are needed."
