Alejandro Jodorowsky
“Birds born in a cage think flying is an illness.”
Alejandro Jodorowsky

ابن تيمية
“Don’t depend too much on anyone in this world because even your own shadow leaves you when you are in darkness.”
Ibn Taymiyyah

Jacques Rigaut
“Don't forget that I cannot see myself, that my role is limited to being the one who looks in the mirror.”
Jacques Rigaut

Jacques Rigaut
“There’s no reason to live, but there’s no reason to die, either. The only way we can still show our contempt for life is to accept it. Life is not worth the bother of leaving it. Out of charity, one might spare a few individuals the trouble of living, but what about oneself? Despair, indifference, betrayal, fidelity, solitude, the family, freedom, weight, money, poverty, love, absence of love, syphilis, health, sleep, insomnia, desire, impotence, platitudes, art, honesty, dishonor, mediocrity, intelligence – nothing there to make a fuss about. We know only too well what those things are made of, no point in watching for them.”
Jacques Rigaut

Oscar Wilde
“It is sometimes said that the tragedy of an artist's life is that he cannot realize his ideal. But the true tragedy that dogs the steps of most artists is that they realize their ideal too absolutely. For, when the ideal is realized, it is robbed of its wonder and its mystery, and becomes simply a new starting point for an ideal that is other than itself. This is why music is the perfect type of art. Music can never reveal its ultimate secret.”
Oscar Wilde, The Critic As Artist: With Some Remarks on the Importance of Doing Nothing and Discussing Everything
