Whoever said

revenge is sweet

never tasted

the yumminess of

forgetaboutit.

- Karen Salmansohn -

Everybody has an inferiority complex when they step into a room...

When I was young I had so many inferiority complexes.

I had an inferiority complex because I didn't go to university...

because I didn't train.

Then it gets tiring.

And you get bored of it...

’Fuck it’ is my guiding philosophy.

- Helena Bonham Carter -

NITCH

To act on a bad idea is better than to not act at all because the worth of the idea never becomes apparent until you do it. Sometimes this idea can be the smallest thing in the world, a little flame that you hunch over and cup with your hand and pray will not be extinguished by all the storm that howls about it. If you can hold on to that flame, great things can be constructed around it that are massive and powerful and world changing...all held up by the tiniest of ideas.

- Nick Cave -

DOE WAT JE NIET KUNT

DAN LEER JE WAT

- Olaf Hoenson -

It’s amazing how words can do that, just shred your insides apart.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me - such bullshit.

- Lauren Oliver, Delirium -

ON COURAGE

Courage is your willingness to not know.

To speak your truth. To walk your path.

To face ridicule and rejection.

To keep going, despite the voices in your head and the judgements of others.

And there are no guarantees you will make it.

Nobody can walk for you!

You walk in radical aloneness, naked in the face of life, no protection, no crutches, no external authority.

No ideology to save you.

No promises anymore.

Only the beating of the heart, and the air in the lungs, and the thrill and terror of being utterly free, and no longer numb.

And a knowing from deep within.

And the call of your ancestors.

And the the ground holding you.

And the Sun warming you.

And the fragrance of love everywhere.

And warm tears running down your cheeks.

And this gorgeous vulnerability

which makes you unbreakable.

- Jeff Foster -

NIEMAND is vrij

tot we ALLEMAAL

vrij zijn.

- Jürgen Habermas -

Learn not to say too much.

When it comes to being gentle, start with yourself. Don’t get upset with your imperfections. Being disappointed by failure is understandable, but it shouldn’t turn into bitterness or spite directed at yourself.

- St. Frances de Sales -

Face your life
Its pain,
Its pleasure,
Leave no path untaken.

- Neil Gaiman -

You can't control how other people see you or

think of you,

and you have to be comfortable with that.

Let me keep my distance, always,

from those who think they have the answers.

Let me keep company always

with those who say “Look!”

and laugh in astonishment,

and bow their heads.

- Mary Oliver -

It’s the rudest word in my dictionary, ‘retire. And 'old’ is another one. I don’t allow that in my house. And being called 'vintage.’ I don’t want any of those old words.

I like 'enthusiastic’ and I like the word 'cut’ because that means you’ve finished the shot.

I heard a woman being interviewed on the radio the other day who was 105, and I expected this very frail voice, but this wonderful voice came out and she said to this reporter who was interviewing her, 'I’ll tell you one thing,’ she said, 'Don’t stop anything. I never stop anything I’m doing because otherwise I’ll never get started again.’

And I thought, 'That’ll do.’

- Judi Dench -
