"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing."
"Don’t talk to me about aesthetics or tradition. Talk to me about what sells and what’s good right now. And what the American people like is to think the underdog still has a chance."
"Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth."
- Pablo Picasso
"I Want To Spend the Rest of My Life Everywhere, with Everyone, One to One, Always, Forever, Now."
"We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."
"If your status ain’t hood, I ain’t checkin’ for him.
BETTER BE STREET IF HE LOOKIN’ AT ME."
"Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers."
- T.S. Eliot
"They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself."
"I could not become anything; neither good nor bad; neither a scoundrel or an honest man; neither a hero nor an insect. And now I am eking out my days in my corner, taunting myself with the bitter and entirely useless consolation that an intelligent man cannot seriously become anything, that only a fool can become something."
- FYODOR DOSTOYEVSKY, Notes from Underground
"My fault, my failure, is not the passions I have, but my lack of control of them."
"I don’t know if I should curse or celebrate Mert and Marcus, the fashion photographers who in their latest ad campaign for Calvin Klein have so viscerally caught the apocalyptic mood of our time? Look at the clenched fists, the contorted bodies, the ghoulish sunken eyes… I am in awe of this last desperate attempt to still sell the American dream even as the dark age dawns."
- KONO MATSU.
