“Everything you can imagine is real.”
― Pablo Picasso

“If you want to really hurt you parents, and you don't have the nerve to be gay, the least you can do is go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possible can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country

“You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm.”
― Colette

“There is a wilderness we walk alone
However well-companioned”
― Stephen Vincent Benét, Western Star

“In the summer
I stretch out on the shore
And think of you. Had I told the sea
What I felt for you,
It would have left its shores,
Its shells,
Its fish,
And followed me.”
― Nizar Qabbani

“You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.”
― William Faulkner
