Russell Brand
“If you want to understand what’s most important to a society, don’t examine its art or literature, simply look at its biggest buildings.” In medieval societies, the biggest buildings were its churches and palaces; using Campbell’s method, we can assume these were feudal cultures that revered their leaders and worshipped God. In modern Western cities, the biggest buildings are the banks—bloody great towers that dominate the docklands—and the shopping centers, which architecturally ape the cathedrals they’ve replaced: domes, spires, eerie celestial calm, fountains for fonts, food courts for pews.”
Russell Brand, Revolution

Haruki Murakami
“I gazed up at the sky. I was in a tiny boat, on a vast ocean. No wind, no waves, just me floating there. Adrift on the open sea..
..A tiny boat cut loose from the fiction of the ship.”
Haruki Murakami, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World

Vincent van Gogh
“There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.”
Vincent Van Gogh

Henry David Thoreau
“The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched.”
Henry David Thoreau, Walden or, Life in the Woods

Nikos Kazantzakis
“I said to the almond tree, 'Sister, speak to me of God.' And the almond tree blossomed.”
Nikos Kazantzakis, Report to Greco
