“I am a happy camper so I guess I’m doing something right. Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder…” – Henry David Thoreau
“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery—celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from—it’s where you take them to.” – Jim Jarmusch
“The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything. Except what is worth knowing. Journalism, conscious of this, and having tradesman-like habits, supplies their demands.” – Oscar Wilde
“The best things in life aren’t things.” – Unknown
“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” – George Orwell
“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” – George Bernard Shaw
“Imagination is more important than knowledge.”- Albert Einstein
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are two ways of spreading light-
To be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. – Edith Wharton
In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life.
It goes on. – Robert Frost
