Repudiating the virtues of your world, criminals hopelessly agree to organize a forbidden universe. They agree to live in it. The air there is nauseating: they can breathe it.

He does not seem to me to be a free man who does not sometimes do nothing.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Trust not to much to appearances.

Virgil

Youth is the time to go flashing from one end of the world to the other to try the manners of different nations; to hear the chimes at midnight; to see the sunrise in town and country; to be converted at a revival; to circumnavigate the metaphysics, write halting verses, run a mile to see a fire, and wait all day long in the theatre to applaud Hernani.

Robert Louis Stevenson

The worst thing that happens to you may be the best thing for you if you don't let it get the best of you.

Will Rogers

Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind which searches into nature and which there divines the spirit of which nature herself is animated.

Auguste Rodin

There's a generation of people I think without a strong connection to family, to religion, to civic duty. They have a real disassociation from the problems of the world.

Tim Heidecker

Summer is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces up, snow is exhilarating; there is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

John Ruskin

Let architects sing of aesthetics that bring Rich clients in hordes to their knees; Just give me a home, in a great circle dome Where stresses and strains are at ease.

R. Buckminster Fuller

This truth must be recognized as a dogma and assume the validity of an axiom in the general understanding of painting.

Fernand Leger

I took my courage in both hands and went to the Laundromat to do my washing. I had to use three machines.

Julie Doucet

Love forbids you not to love.

Umberto Giordano

The Bible is a radically pro-slavery document. Slave owners waved Bibles over their heads in the Civil War and justified it.

Dan Savage
