Mahmoud Darwish // "Drink your coffee, embrace the silence, do not take people seriously, do not take life upon yourself, do not exaggerate your emotions, and do not please anyone against your will."
Claude Monet // "What keeps my heart awake is colorful silence."
Charlie Chaplin // "Think of the power of the universe…turning the Earth, growing trees. That’s the same power within you...if you’ll only have the courage and the will to use it."
Franz Kafka // "I wish the world were ending tomorrow. Then I could take the next train, arrive at your doorstep…and say: 'Come with me...we are going to love each other without scruples or fear or restraint. Because the world is ending tomorrow.' Perhaps we don’t love unreasonably because we think we have time, or have to reckon with time. But what if we don’t have time? Or what if time, as we know it, is irrelevant? Ah, if only the world were ending tomorrow. We could help each other very much."
Henry Miller // "To make living itself an art, that is the goal."
Robert Redford // "I’m interested in that thing that happens where there’s a breaking point for some people and not for others. You go through such hardship, things that are almost impossibly difficult, and there’s no sign that it’s going to get any better, and that’s the point when people quit. But some don’t."
David Lynch // "The day you catch an idea you fall in love with, even a small one, is a beautiful day."
Frida Kahlo // "Nothing is absolute. Everything changes, everything moves, everything revolves, everything flies and goes away."
Albert Camus // "Go out for a walk. It doesn’t have to be a romantic walk in the park... It doesn’t have to be a walk during which you’ll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself... That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be."
Henry Miller // "One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things."
Lea Seydoux // "You have to save yourself from the rules."
Leonard Cohen // "For me, art is the evidence of a life, and not the life itself. It’s the ashes of something that has burned very well...and sometimes we confuse ourselves, and we try to create the ashes, instead of the fire."
