“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing but burn, burn, burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars”-Jack Kerouac
“Nonsense and beauty have close connections.”-E.M. Forster
“Whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it is important that you do it anyway.”-Ghandi
“There is in Paris a multitude of young artists, full of resolution and hope. They scorn the realities of life and they ask nothing of the world but glory. A studio in some attic or other, a few reliefs and engravings, a skeleton, a little paint, a canvas and some brushes, that’s all their fortune. Often they even lack bread, but they have the world of the imagination, and this world is very rich. There is nothing venal in their natures, and so they are called eccentric.”-Joanna Richardson
“God thinks in the genius, dreams in the poet and sleeps in the rest of humanity”- Peter Altenberg
“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”-Pablo Picasso

“Le beau est toujours bizarre.” -Charles Baudelaire
