“The past plays tricks on us, fooling us with its nostalgia into accepting a life of memories alone.”
Peter Gilman, Diamond Head

“If you are afraid to die, if you are afraid to face death, then you do not deserve to live, he thought; considering, a moment afterwards, that if you are afraid to live, afraid to face life, then perhaps you do not deserve to die.”
Peter Gilman, Diamond Head

Matthew McConaughey
“The arrival is inevitable: Death.
A unanimous end, a unified destination.
A noun without regard. Our eulogy. Written.
Lived.
The approach is relative: Life.
A singular procession, our personal journey.
A verb with regard. Our résumé. Write it.
Live it.”
Matthew McConaughey, Greenlights

“Songs are like women or cats — fascinating, elusive, seductive, irresistible, infuriating, moody, demanding and contradictory creatures. The writer pursues them like some phantom fantasy — fascinated, intrigued and desperate to find out what they’re really like. They should be approached with caution and respect — especially at night. The more promising and beautiful they appear, the harder they may be to catch.”
Leslie Bricusse

Ray Bradbury
“I got hold of the fire chief here in Los Angeles, and I said, “At what temperature does book paper catch fire and burn?” He said, “Just a moment, be right back.” He came back and said, “451 Fahrenheit.” And I thought, “Oh, that’s beautiful.” That’s absolutely beautiful. It’s perfect. So I reversed it, and said Fahrenheit 451, and there you have the title. And if we start using Celsius in the next few years, I will be severely disappointed.”
Ray Bradbury
