Vincent van Gogh
“What am I in the eyes of most people — a nonentity, an eccentric, or an unpleasant person — somebody who has no position in society and will never have; in short, the lowest of the low. All right, then — even if that were absolutely true, then I should one day like to show by my work what such an eccentric, such a nobody, has in his heart. That is my ambition, based less on resentment than on love in spite of everything, based more on a feeling of serenity than on passion. Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me. I see paintings or drawings in the poorest cottages, in the dirtiest corners. And my mind is driven towards these things with an irresistible momentum.”
Vincent Van Gogh

Haruki Murakami
“If you really want to know something, you have to be willing to pay the price.”
Haruki Murakami, After Dark

Jeannette Walls
“Most important thing in life is learning how to fall.”
Jeannette Walls, Half Broke Horses

Dante Alighieri
“Through me you pass into the city of woe:
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people lost for aye.
Justice the founder of my fabric moved:
To rear me was the task of power divine,
Supremest wisdom, and primeval love.
Before me things create were none, save things
Eternal, and eternal I shall endure.
All hope abandon, ye who enter here.”
Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy: The Inferno, the Purgatorio and the Paradiso

Susan Sontag
“Never worry about being obsessive. I like obsessive people. Obsessive people make great art.”
Susan Sontag
