Hope and a kind of Beauty

There is hope and a kind of beauty in there somewhere, if you look for it.

~ H.R. Giger

Impossible is Nothing

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.

~ Muhammad Ali

Dare Mighty Things

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure , than to take rank with those poor spires who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory or defeat.

~ Theodore Roosevelt

Artists

Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact.

~ William S. Burroughs

revolution

I would start a revolution, but I just bought a hammock.

You Probably Wouldn't Worry

"You probably wouldn't worry about what people think of you if you could know how seldom they do."

~ Olin Miller

Follow your heart & intuition

"Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

~ Steve Jobs

The Calm Mind

"The calm mind allows one to connect with the inner self, the Soul, the very source of our being. That's where the music lives. That's where my music comes from."

~ Clarence Clemons

A Photograph

"A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know."

~ Diane Arbus

Our Species

"If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little."

~ George Carlin

ART

"Art is making something out of nothing and selling it."

~ Frank Zappa

Root of all Evil

"Lack of money is the root of all evil."

~ George Bernard Shaw

Crazy

~ Janet Long

Simple

"To be simple is to be great."

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Change

"Change is the only evidence of life."

~ Evelyn Waugh

Simplicity

"Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity. I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumbnail."

~ Henry David Thoreau
