The universe as we know it is a joint product of the observer and the observed.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinLove is an interesting thing. Perhaps I’ve never been in love before – I don’t really know? I think I have. I guess it’s subjective in that way.

George BestThings ain’t what they used to be and never were.
Will RogersWhen I found somebody who I fell in love with, it made me feel different than I felt the rest of the day. It was electrifying. That’s what inspired the ‚Off to the Races‘ melodies. That’s one of the times when you’re feeling electrified by someone else and they make you happy to be alive.
Lana Del ReyI do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success… such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.
Nikola TeslaThe ideal death, I think, is what was the ideal Victorian death, you know, with your grandchildren around you, a bit of sobbing. And you say goodbye to your loved ones, making certain that one of them has been left behind to look after the shop.
Terry PratchettSometimes I think that there’s a fine line between impressionistic and messy.

Brene BrownThere are no moral phenomena at all, but only a moral interpretation of phenomena.
Friedrich NietzscheI’m rather kind of old school, thinking that when an artist does his work, it’s no longer his… I just see what people make of it.
David BowieThe eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages.
Virginia WoolfI think women love very hard. We love men. We just love with everything we have. And sometimes, I don’t know that that love is met with the type of dignity that we wish it would be met with.
Lady GagaAny experience that touches you, in any particular way, is good. It can be a horrible experience.
Ray BradburyLove is an interesting thing.
Lady GagaUnless you love someone, nothing else makes any sense.
E. E. CummingsMemory is the way we keep telling ourselves our stories – and telling other people a somewhat different version of our stories.

Alice WalkerA lot of the time when I write about the person that I love, I feel like I’m writing about New York.
Lana Del ReyThis life, which had been the tomb of his virtue and of his honour, is but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
William ShakespeareLanguage is a process of free creation; its laws and principles are fixed, but the manner in which the principles of generation are used is free and infinitely varied. Even the interpretation and use of words involves a process of free creation.
Noam ChomskySometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.There is a soak-the-rich attitude in the air, a feeling that if you have a lot of money you must have got it by some ghastly means. I can quite happily say there was never any family money. All the money we got was mine, just from writing books.
Terry PratchettIt is only at the first encounter that a face makes its full impression on us.
Arthur SchopenhauerI don’t know, I feel desperate when I sing. And I look desperate – it feels like I’m singing for my life, which makes me twitch, if that makes sense.
AuroraIf your mom cries a lot, you probably cry a lot. It’s what you learn.
Abby Lee MillerI think the American people, with some justification, think that most politicians live in la-la land.
John KennedyImaginary evils soon become real one by indulging our reflections on them.
John RuskinWe conceal it from ourselves in vain – we must always love something. In those matters seemingly removed from love, the feeling is secretly to be found, and man cannot possibly live for a moment without it.
Blaise PascalEvery bad situation is a blues song waiting to happen.
Amy WinehouseWe shall see but a little way if we require to understand what we see.

George OrwellTo love is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.
Emily DickinsonThe truth may be out there, but lies are inside your head.
Terry PratchettIf someone decides they’re not going to be happy, it’s not your problem. You don’t have to spend your time and energy trying to cheer up someone who has already decided to stay in a bad mood. Believe it or not, you can actually hurt people by playing into their self-pity.
Joyce MeyerYou know how big love is? Love is big. love can hold anger; love can even hold hatred.
Alice WalkerIn memory everything seems to happen to music.
Tennessee WilliamsPeople see things differently and remember things differently. It’s why if somebody robs a liquor store and there are four witnesses they’ll often disagree.
