Wole Soyinka
“A tiger doesn't proclaim his tigritude, he pounces”
Wole Soyinka

Stephen Fry
“It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what."

[I saw hate in a graveyard -- Stephen Fry, The Guardian, 5 June 2005]”
Stephen Fry

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Lass dir Alles geschehn: Schönheit und Schrecken.
Man muss nur gehn: Kein Gefühl ist das fernste.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

David Walliams
“All you can do in this life is follow your dreams. Otherwise you're just wasting your time.”
David Walliams, Gangsta Granny

Milan Kundera
“Unintentional beauty. Another way of putting it might be 'beauty by mistake'. Before beauty disappears entirely from the earth, it will go on existing for a while by mistake. Beauty by mistake - the final phase in the history of beauty.”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
