Lars von Trier
“True values entail suffering. That’s the way we think. All in all, we tend to view melancholia as more true. We prefer music and art to contain a touch of melancholia. So melancholia in itself is a value. Unhappy and unrequited love is more romantic than happy love. For we don’t think that’s completely real, do we?…Longing is true. It may be that there’s no truth at all to long for, but the longing itself is true. Just like pain is true. We feel it inside. It’s part of our reality.”
Lars Von Trier

Leopold von Sacher-Masoch
“But why talk in superlatives, as if something that is beautiful could be surpassed?”
Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Venus in Furs

Frida Kahlo
“Only one mountain can know the core of another mountain.”
Frida Kahlo, The Diary of Frida Kahlo: An Intimate Self-Portrait

Edmond Manning
“This is one of those California moments, and these two women now have their own dose of surrealism to share with their friends: the mostly naked, mountaintop cello player and his even more naked, duck holding friend. Everyone here grooves on those stories, where the line between locals and tourists blur, and for a moment we're all Californians because we share the same love.”
Edmond Manning, King Perry

Banana Yoshimoto
“I wanted to hold everything in place with my thin little arm and weak spirit. I wanted to do what I could with my unreliable body to try and deal with the many scary things that were going to start happening from now on. I wanted to try.”
Banana Yoshimoto, Asleep
