Oscar Wilde
“Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.”
Oscar Wilde

Milan Kundera
“Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Oscar Wilde
“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”
Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan

Socrates
“The unexamined life is not worth living.”
Socrates

Woody Allen
“Life doesn't imitate art, it imitates bad television.”
Woody Allen
