I don't want to imitate life in movies I want to represent it. And in that representation, you use the colors you feel, and sometimes they are fake colors. But always it's to show one emotion.

I like to find the beauty in the ugly. When I'm in a thrift store, I gravitate toward pieces I know I'll wear a ton, and insane pieces that I'm sure most people would consider gross. But I find them inspiring. Our van is currently stocked with some of my random findings from this tour. Maybe I'll call my aesthetic 'van fashion.'

Victoria Legrand

Let the motive be in the deed and not in the event. Be not one whose motive for action is the hope of reward.

Kreeshna

In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield.

Douglas MacArthur

Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.

Martin Luther

When you're in a Slump,you're not in for much fun.Un-slumping yourselfis not easily done.

Dr. Seuss

A pencil and rubber are of more use to thought than a battalion of assistants. To happiness the same applies as to truth: one does not have it, but is in it.

Theodor Adorno

We must not contradict, but instruct him that contradicts us; for a madman is not cured by another running mad also.

Antisthenes

There is always some frivolity in excellent minds; they have wings to rise, but also stray.

Joseph Joubert

How could you tell how much of it was lies? It might be true that the average human being was better off now than before the Revolution. The only evidence to the contrary was the mute protest in your own bones, the instinctive feeling that the conditions you lived in were intolerable and that at some other time they must have been different. It struck him that the truly characteristic thing about modern life was not its cruelty and insecurity, but simply its bareness, its dinginess, its listlessness. Life, if you looked about you, bore no resemblance not only to the lies that streamed out of the telescreens, but even to the ideals that the Party was trying to achieve. Great areas of it, even for a party member, were neutral and nonpolitical, a matter of slogging through dreary jobs, fighting for a place on the Tube, darning a worn-out sock, cadging a saccharine tablet, saving a cigarette end. The ideal set up by the Party was something huge, terrible, and glittering--a world of steel and concrete, of monstrous machines and terrifying weapons--a nation of warriors and fanatics, marching forward in perfect unity, all thinking the same thoughts and shouting the same slogans, perpetually working, fighting, triumphing, persecuting--three hundred million people all with the same face.

George Orwell

Government never furthered any enterprise but by the alacrity with which it got out of its way

Henry David Thoreau

What we imagine is order is merely the prevailing form of chaos.

Kerry Thornley

Love without hope will not survive.Love without faith changes nothing.Love gives power to hope and faith.
