Me, as a person, I grow. I’m like a chameleon. You know? That is a gift and a curse for me. But more so a gift, because it never puts me in a box.
Kendrick LamarI’d always somehow felt slightly as if I’d been born in the wrong country.
Christopher HitchensWhen I moved out, my mom and dad came to help me get settled into my apartment – a place I ultimately got hooked up with in Coach Nelson’s building. We had to figure out how to get all my shoes over here. That was a little stressful.
Stephen CurryOne cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.
Golda MeirI’m German in my mind, but from a Germany that doesn’t exist any more.
Karl LagerfeldI never have really become accustomed to the ‚John.‘ Nobody ever really calls me John… I’ve always been Duke or Marion or John Wayne. It’s a name that goes well together, and it’s like one word – John Wayne.
John WayneFood is everything we are. It’s an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It’s inseparable from those from the get-go.
Anthony BourdainHave you not noticed that love is silence? It may be while holding the hand of another, or looking lovingly at a child, or taking in the beauty of an evening. Love has no past or future, and so it is with this extraordinary state of silence.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiFootball fans share a universal language that cuts across many cultures and many personality types. A serious football fan is never alone. We are legion, and football is often the only thing we have in common.
Hunter S. ThompsonThe reason people think it’s important to be white is that they think it’s important not to be black.
James BaldwinI have visited Japan several times and have always been shown wonderful hospitality.
Stephen HawkingIn England, football is a big thing to talk about, but Liverpool, it’s a special place. You feel it when you make your first step.
Jurgen KloppThere have been times that I’ve wept as I’ve gone from city to city and I’ve seen how far people have wandered from God.
Billy GrahamMany people in the western world are spoiled by the conveniences of our culture.
Joyce MeyerMe don’t dip on nobody’s side. Me don’t dip on the black man’s side, not the white man’s side. Me dip on God’s side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white.
Bob MarleyLove alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinWe Jews have a secret weapon in our struggle with the Arabs; we have no place to go.
Golda MeirNothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes.
Henry David ThoreauOnce I knew only darkness and stillness… my life was without past or future… but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living.
Helen KellerWit is the sudden marriage of ideas which, before their union, were not perceived to have any relation.
Mark TwainI’m not concerned with people seeing me in a certain way. Some people see me as a kid, some people see me as an adult. But I’m seriously not going to complain how anybody sees me, as long as they see me.
Taylor SwiftI suppose for me as an artist it wasn’t always just about expressing my work; I really wanted, more than anything else, to contribute in some way to the culture that I was living in. It just seemed like a challenge to move it a little bit towards the way I thought it might be interesting to go.
David BowieForget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
Khalil GibranWe think when God speaks to us, there’s going to be a boom out of Heaven or we’re going to get some chill bumps, but I really believe God’s talking to us all the time. He’s talking to us right in here. I call it our heart, our conscience, but it’s the Holy Spirit talking to us.
Joel OsteenI’m the proof – you can’t throw away tradition.
Vivienne WestwoodThe ego is only an illusion, but a very influential one. Letting the ego-illusion become your identity can prevent you from knowing your true self. Ego, the false idea of believing that you are what you have or what you do, is a backwards way of assessing and living life.
Wayne DyerI’d like to be known for more than being the guy in the big suit.
David ByrneLike every other good thing in this world, leisure and culture have to be paid for. Fortunately, however, it is not the leisured and the cultured who have to pay.
Aldous HuxleyPopular culture is a contradiction in terms. If it’s popular, it’s not culture.
Vivienne WestwoodThe free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it – basically because you feel good, very good, when you are near or with them.
Charles BukowskiIt’s often just enough to be with someone. I don’t need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You’re not alone.
Marilyn MonroeI like to work with artists from around the world. There are so many new inspiring filmmakers.
Angelina JolieCompton got such a legacy in hip-hop.
Nipsey HussleIn the West, as well as some other parts of the world, the personal sense of ego tends to predominate, whereas in other areas, there is a more collective sense of ego. This collective ego emphasizes the ‚we‘ rather than the ‚I.‘
Eckhart TolleThe day when I am no more than a writer I shall cease to be a writer.
Albert CamusLove one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Khalil GibranThe people of Northern Ireland have sorted out my whole life.
George BestI long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.
Maya AngelouIf you deny people their own voice, you’ll have no idea of who they were.
Alice WalkerI just dress like… I’m an old black man. Sorry! Like I’m an old Jewish black man. I just dress like it’s still the ’50s.
Amy WinehouseI miss people. I miss going anywhere and meeting a random person and saying ‚Hi‘ and having a conversation about life. I love people.
Lady GagaI always tell people that if I move anywhere it would be Toronto.
Kendrick LamarDo not free a camel of the burden of his hump; you may be freeing him from being a camel.
Gilbert K. ChestertonAmerica is not nearly done. We’re only in the beginning. Who knows who we will be? Who knows… what color we will be? It is all something that, maybe, our descendants – if they survive that long – will see.
Alice WalkerI’m a child of God first. Before I became a celebrity, I was baptized a Christian.
Mr. TEvery day I try to be in communication with the universe in an unconscious way.
Paulo CoelhoI believe in love at first sight. You want that connection, and then you want some problems.
Keanu ReevesMy roots are in Paris, and I will not pull them up.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinThe only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.
Oscar WildeTo all those who have suffered as a consequence of our troubled past I extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy. With the benefit of historical hindsight we can all see things which we would wish had been done differently or not at all.
Queen Elizabeth IIWe are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be.
Kurt VonnegutWith my childhood, it’s a wonder I’m not psychotic. I was the little Jewish boy in the non-Jewish neighborhood. It was a little like being the first Negro enrolled in the all-white school. I grew up in libraries and among books, without friends.
Abraham MaslowNationality is the miracle of political independence; race is the principle of physical analogy.
Benjamin DisraeliThe little man is still a man.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheI don’t know what ‚normal‘ means, anyway.
Karl LagerfeldWe need to try to unite audiences, unite countries, join musical tastes, unite people.
Bad BunnyWe are all worms. But I believe that I am a glow-worm.
Winston ChurchillI live in Puerto Rico, my family lives in Puerto Rico, my friends. What happens in Puerto Rico matters to me.
Bad BunnyHong Kong is a wonderful, mixed-up town where you’ve got great food and adventure. First and foremost, it’s a great place to experience China in a relatively accessible way.
Anthony BourdainWhen you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence.
