Gertrude Stein
“nothing changes from one generation to another except the things seen and the things seen make that generation, that is to say nothing changes in people from one generation to another except the way of seeing and being seen.”
Gertrude Stein, Picasso

George R.R. Martin
“Every man must die, Jon Snow. But first he must live.”
George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords

Jean Genet
“My heart's in my hand, and my hand is pierced, and my hand's in the bag, and the bag is shut, and my heart is caught.”
Jean Genet, Our Lady of the Flowers

Lewis Carroll
“How strange it is to be anything at all.”
Alice in wonderland

Jean Genet
“I want to fulfill myself in one of the rarest of destinies. I have only a dim notion of what it 
will be. I want it to have not a graceful curve slightly bent toward evening but a hitherto unseen beauty 
lovely because of the danger which works away at it overwhelms it undermines it. Oh let me be only utter
 beauty I shall go quickly or slowly but I shall dare what must be dared. I shall destroy appearances the 
casings will burn away and one evening I shall appear there in the palm of your hand quiet and pure like a
 glass statuette. You will see me. Round about me there will be nothing left.”
Jean Genet, The Thief's Journal
