Favorite Quotes

“Part of Art’s life (beyond its creation) is to be consumed, interpreted, digested, misinterpreted, vomited up, perceived, then reinterpreted… And even then it’s difficult to know for sure.” -Brandon Boyd

“Artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use them to cover the truth up.” -Evee, ‘V For Vendetta’

“The only true currency in this bankrupt world… is what you share with someone else when you’re uncool. ” -Lester Bangs, ‘Almost Famous’

“…if ya ever get lonely, you just go to the record store & visit all your friends…” -Penny Lane ‘Almost Famous’

“Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.”- R.W. Emerson

“For whatever we lose (like a you or a me), it’s always ourselves we find in the sea.” -Cummings

“Speak the truth, even if your voice shakes.” -Unknown

“My temple is the park, the sky, the water in the lake and the stream that feeds it. My people are those who share my ideas and not those I’m bound to by bonds of blood. My ritual is being with those people and celebrating everything around me.
I’m independent. I see life through my eyes and not through other people’s. I’m going in search of the adventure of being alive.”
– Paulo Coelho, The Witch of Portobello

“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.”
― Frida Kahlo
