Fyodor Dostoevsky
“the whole work of man really seems to consist in nothing but proving to himself every minute that he is a man and not a piano-key!”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from the Underground

Yukio Mishima
“He heard the sound of waves striking the shore, and it was as though the surging of his young blood was keeping time with the movement of the sea's great tides. It was doubtless because nature itself satisfied his need that Shinji felt no particular lack of music in his everyday life.”
Yukio Mishima, The Sound of Waves

Andrei Tarkovsky
“If a writer, despite his natural gifts, gives up writing because no one will publish him, then he is no writer. The artist is distinguished by his urge to create, which by very definition is a concomitant of talent.”
Andrei Tarkovsky, Journal 1970-1986

Gucci Mane
“If a man does not have sauce, then he is lost. But the same man can get lost in the sauce.”
Gucci Mane

Vincent van Gogh
“There is a great difference between one idler and another idler. There is someone who is an idler out of laziness and lack of character, owing to the baseness of his nature. If you like, you may take me for one of those. Then there is the other kind of idler, the idler despite himself, who is inwardly consumed by a great longing for action who does nothing because his hands are tied, because he is, so to speak, imprisoned somewhere, because he lacks what he needs to be productive, because disastrous circumstances have brought him forcibly to this end. Such a one does not always know what he can do, but he nevertheless instinctively feels, I am good for something! My existence is not without reason! I know that I could be a quite a different person! How can I be of use, how can I be of service? There is something inside me, but what can it be? He is quite another idler. If you like you may take me for one of those.”
Vincent van Gogh, The Letters of Vincent van Gogh
