"One can promise actions, but not feelings, for the latter are involuntary. He who promises to love forever or hate forever or be forever faithful to someone is promising something that is not in his power."
Nietzsche
"Hope is the thing with feathers..."
Emily Dickinson
"Of course, in an age of madness, to expect to be untouched by madness is a form of madness. But the pursuit of sanity can be a form of madness, too."
Henderson the Rain King; Saul Bellow
"It is the function of the artist to evoke the experience of surprised recognition: to show the viewer what he knows but does not know he knows."
William S. Burroughs
"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all."
Oscar Wilde
"Imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality."
Jules de Gaultier
"I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later."
Mitch Hedberg
"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions. Their lives a mimicry. Their passions a quotation."
Oscar Wilde
"There are only two kinds of artists: Plagiarists and Revolutionaries."
Paul Gauguin
"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."

"What's great about this country is that America started with the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Cocoa-Cola, and you can know that the President drinks coke, Liz Taylor drinks coke, and just think, you can drink coke, too. A coke is a coke, and no amount of money can get you a better coke than the one that the bum on the corner is drinking. All the cokes are the same and all cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it."
Andy Warhol
"next to of course god america i
love you land of the pilgrims' and so forth oh
say can you see by the dawn's early my
country tis of centuries come and go
and are no more what of it we should worry
in every language even deafanddumb
thy sons acclaim your glorious name by gorry
by jingo by gee by gosh by gum
why talk of beauty what could be more beaut-
iful than these heroic happy dead
who rushed like lions to the roaring slaughter
they did not stop to think they died instead
then shall the voice of liberty be mute?"
He spoke. And drank rapidly a glass of water

"Who, being loved, is poor?"
Oscar Wilde
"Without music, life would be a mistake."
Friedrich Nietzsche
"Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everyone I've every known."
Chuck Palahniuk
"Some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's next. Delicious ambiguity..."
Gilda Radner
