    Nick Cave
    “And I wish that I was made of stone
    So that I would not have to see
    A beauty impossible to define
    A beauty impossible to believe

    A beauty impossible to endure
    The blood imparted in little sips
    The smell of you still on my hands
    As I bring the cup up to my lips

    No God up in the sky
    No devil beneath the sea
    Could do the job that you did, baby
    Of bringing me to my knees”
    Nick Cave

    I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control
    “I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
    Marilyn Monroe

    Paulo Coelho
    “Passion makes a person stop eating, sleeping, working, feeling at peace. A lot of people are frightened because, when it appears, it demolishes all the old things it finds in its path.

    No one wants their life thrown into chaos. That is why a lot of people keep that threat under control, and are somehow capable of sustaining a house or a structure that is already rotten. They are the engineers of the superseded.

    Other people think exactly the opposite: they surrender themselves without a second thought, hoping to find in passion the solutions to all their problems. They make the other person responsible for their happiness and blame them for their possible unhappiness. They are either euphoric because something marvelous has happened or depressed because something unexpected has just ruined everything.

    Keeping passion at bay or surrendering blindly to it - which of these two attitudes is the least destructive?

    I don't know.”
    Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes

    Paulo Coelho
    “Love is like a narcotic. At first it brings the euphoria of complete surrender. The next day, you want more. You’re not addicted yet, but you like the sensation, and you think you can still control things. You think about the person you love for two minutes, and forget them for three hours. But then you get used to that person, and you begin to be completely dependent on them. Now you think about him for three hours and forget him for two minutes. If he’s not there, you feel like an addict who can’t get a fix. And just as addicts steal and humiliate themselves to get what they need, you’re willing to do anything for love.”
    Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

    Paulo Coelho
    “But how will I know who my Soulmate is?” Brida felt that this was one of the most important questions she had ever asked in her life.
    By taking risks’ she said to Brida. ‘ By risking failure, disappointment, disillusion, but never ceasing in you search for Love. As long as you keep looking, you will triumph in the end.”
    Paulo Coelho, Brida

    Marilyn Monroe
    “This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”
    Marilyn Monroe

    Paulo Coelho
    “It's risky, falling in love."

    "I know that," I answered. "I've been in love before. It's like a narcotic. At first it brings the euphoria of complete surrender. The next day, you want more. You're not addicted yet, but you like the sensation, and you think you can still control things. You think about the person you love for two minutes, and forget them for three hours.

    "But then you get used to that person, and you begin to be completely dependent on them. Now you think about him for three hours and forget him for two minutes. If he's not there, you feel like an addict who can't get a fix. And just as addicts steal and humiliate themselves to get what they need, you're willing to do anything for love."

    "What a horrible way to put it," he said.”
    Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

    Paulo Coelho
    “Never be ashamed,’ he said. ‘Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.’
    ‘How will I know which is which?’
    ‘By the taste. You can only know a good wine if you have first tasted a bad one.”
    Paulo Coelho, Brida

    “So what's your doll's name?" Boo asked me.
    "Barbie," I said. "All their names are Barbie."
    "I see," she said. "Well, I'd think that would get boring, everyone having the same
    name."
    I thought about this, then said, "Okay, then her name is Sabrina."

    "Well, that's a very nice name," Boo said. I remember she was baking bread,
    kneading the dough
    between her thick fingers. "What does she do?"
    "Do?" I said.
    "Yes." She flipped the dough over and started in on it from the other side. "What
    does she do?"
    "She goes out with Ken," I said.
    "And what else?"
    "She goes to parties," I said slowly. "And shopping."
    "Oh," Boo said, nodding.
    "She can't work?"
    "She doesn't have to work," I said.
    "Why not?"
    "Because she's Barbie."
    "I hate to tell you, Caitlin, but somebody has to make payments on that town house
    and the Corvette,"
    Boo said cheerfully. "Unless Barbie has a lot of family money."
    I considered this while I put on Ken's pants.
    Boo started pushing the dough into a pan, smoothing it with her hand over the top.
    "You know what I
    think, Caitlin?" Her voice was soft and nice, the way she always spoke to me.
    "What?"
    "I think your Barbie can go shopping, and go out with Ken, and also have a
    productive and satisfying
    career of her own." She opened the oven and slid in the bread pan, adjusting its
    position on the rack.
    "But what can she do?" My mother didn't work and spent her time cleaning the
    house and going to PTA.
    I couldn't imagine Barbie, whose most casual outfit had sequins and go-go boots,
    doing s.uch things.
    Boo came over and plopped right down beside me. I always remember
    her being on my level; she'd sit
    on the edge of the sandbox, or lie across her bed with me and Cass as we listened to
    the radio.
    "Well," she said thoughtfully, picking up Ken and examining his perfect physique.
    "What do you want to
    do when you grow up?"
    I remember this moment so well; I can still see Boo sitting there on the floor, cross-
    legged, holding my

    Ken and watching my face as she tried to make me see that between my mother's
    PTA and Boo's
    strange ways there was a middle ground that began here with my Barbie, Sab-rina,
    and led right to me.
    "Well," I said abruptly, "I want to be in advertising." I have no idea where this came
    from.
    "Advertising," Boo repeated, nodding. "Okay. Advertising it is. So Sabrina has to go
    to work every day,
    coming up with ideas for commercials
    and things like that."
    "She works in an office," I went on. "Sometimes she has to work late."
    "Sure she does," Boo said. "It's hard to get ahead. Even if you're Barbie."
    "Because she wants to get promoted," I added. "So she can pay off the town house.
    And the Corvette."
    "Very responsible of her," Boo said.
    "Can she be divorced?" I asked. "And famous for her commercials
    and ideas?"
    "She can be anything," Boo told me, and this is what I remember most, her freckled
    face so solemn, as if
    she knew she was the first to tell me. "And so can you.”
    Sarah Dessen, Dreamland

    “I envy
    the cup of coffee
    that gets
    to kiss
    your sleepy lips
    awake
    every cold and
    bitter morning.”
    Sade Andria Zabala

    “We need houses as we need clothes, architecture stimulates fashion. It’s like hunger and thirst — you need them both.”

    “Gracie: You have an unusual house. Have you lived here long?
    Bobby Tom: A couple of years. I don't much like it myself, but the architect is real proud of it. She calls it urban Stone Age with a Japanese Tahitian influence. I sort of just call it ugly.”
    Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Heaven, Texas

    Jim Jarmusch
    “Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to."

    [MovieMaker Magazine #53 - Winter, January 22, 2004 ]”
    Jim Jarmusch
