We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.
Ray BradburyI do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.
Abraham LincolnFor me, the world that I inhabit in reality is probably a very different world than the one people expect that I would be in.
David BowieRemember, always give your best. Never get discouraged. Never be petty. Always remember, others may hate you. But those who hate you don’t win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.
Richard M. NixonPeace is one of the most precious gifts God has promised His children. I know, because for many years my life was not peaceful, and I was miserable.
Joyce MeyerMy music is a luxury.
Lana Del ReyThe gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.
Albert EinsteinEgos are never nice. I have been a victim of it a lot of times in my career. Whenever I have used it, I have failed.
Sunil ChhetriI definitely don’t plead guilty to being a heartthrob.
Bruno MarsImpart as much as you can of your spiritual being to those who are on the road with you, and accept as something precious what comes back to you from them.

Ralph Waldo EmersonTruthfully, without over-egging it, as I often do, the library and journalism, those things made me who I am.

Alexander PopeWithout music, life would be a mistake.
Friedrich NietzscheMy lighter, more superficial side will always steal a march on the deeper side and therefore always win. You can’t imagine how often I’ve tried to push away this Anne, which is only half of what is known as Anne – to beat her down, hide her.
Anne FrankMany years ago, I concluded that a few hair shirts were part of the mental wardrobe of every man. The president differs from other men in that he has a more extensive wardrobe.
Herbert HooverOne must know oneself. If this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better.
Blaise PascalI made my fair share of mistakes.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerI’m very at ease, and I like it. I never thought I would be such a family-oriented guy; I didn’t think that was part of my makeup. But somebody said that as you get older you become the person you always should have been, and I feel that’s happening to me. I’m rather surprised at who I am, because I’m actually like my dad!
David BowieWhen I understand myself, I understand you, and out of that understanding comes love.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiI don’t let even a day go by wherein I don’t give at 100 per cent.

Richard M. NixonIt’s absolutely normal that different human beings want to go different ways.
Jurgen KloppMany are they who have a taste and love for drawing, but no talent; and this will be discernible in boys who are not diligent and never finish their drawings with shading.
Leonardo da VinciPerhaps when music has been shouting for so long, a quieter voice seems attractive.
Brian EnoSome people focus more on sonics. Some people focus more on story. I focus on both sonics and story.
Frank OceanA ‚scream‘ is always just that – a noise and not music.
Carl JungIf you ever see young artists, and they’re not sounding good, they sound good. They’re good singers. They wouldn’t be where they are if they didn’t sound good. It’s their nerves. Any time you see your favorite artist, and he’s or she’s screwing up or not hitting those notes, it’s not because she can’t hit it or she can’t sing; he or she is scared.
The WeekndYou gotta keep trying to find your niche and trying to fit into whatever slot that’s left for you or to make one of your own.
Dolly PartonMy life has been very full.
Dolly PartonI had a period in my life where I decided that I would never be bored again and that, if I had any free time at all, I would make plans, and I would always be doing things. It actually was great for a year or so, but then I lost all of my friends.
Billie EilishI believe time wounds all heels.
John LennonYou listen to Charlie Parker or John Coltrane before they found their voice, they sounded different. And when you listen to them after they found their voice on their instruments, they sound more confident and in control. Artists have that, too.
Nipsey HussleI really like hip-hop and rap; that’s my main influence. I really wanna be more of a hip-hop artist.
Billie EilishOne should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry.
Oscar WildeA wise man is cured of ambition by ambition itself; his aim is so exalted that riches, office, fortune and favour cannot satisfy him.
Samuel JohnsonYou’re not going to say anything about me that I’m not going to say about myself. There’s so many things that I think about myself; if someone really wanted to get at me, they could say this and this and this. So I’m going to say it before they can. It’s the best policy for me.
EminemAround every corner, always protect the engine that powers you.
Dwayne JohnsonComplaining is dangerous business. It can damage or even destroy your relationship with God, your relationships with other people, and even with your relationship with yourself.
Joyce MeyerLife cannot be without relationship, but we have made it so agonizing and hideous by basing it on personal and possessive love. Can one love and yet not possess? You will find the true answer not in escape, ideals, beliefs but through the understanding of the causes of dependence and possessiveness.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiTupac, Biggie, Jay. Your usual suspects. These were the people that was played in my household.
Kendrick LamarAutobiographies are only useful as the lives you read about and analyze may suggest to you something that you may find useful in your own journey through life.
Eleanor RooseveltOnce we accept our limits, we go beyond them.
Albert EinsteinI’ve made sure that in any situation and with any record label, I’m allowed to write my own music.
Taylor SwiftVulnerability is the birthplace of connection and the path to the feeling of worthiness. If it doesn’t feel vulnerable, the sharing is probably not constructive.
Brene BrownOne of the signs of passing youth is the birth of a sense of fellowship with other human beings as we take our place among them.
Virginia WoolfI think the healthy way to live is to make friends with the beast inside oneself, and that means not the beast but the shadow. The dark side of one’s nature. Have fun with it and you know, is to accept everything about ourselves.
Anthony HopkinsLearn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.
Albert EinsteinI never do anything that I don’t want to do.

George H. W. BushWho looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
Carl JungThis is certain, that a man that studieth revenge keeps his wounds green, which otherwise would heal and do well.
Francis BaconI’m not a bad person.
Abby Lee MillerDo the thing you fear most and the death of fear is certain.
Mark TwainReally, the only thing that makes sense is to strive for greater collective enlightenment.
Elon MuskI love playing ego and insecurity combined.
Jim CarreyIf I went back to my 20-year-old self, what I would tell my 20-year-old self is, ‚You don’t know anything.‘ Because everyone, when they’re young, they think they know what’s going on in the world, and you don’t.
Jocko WillinkI think beating myself up sometimes and knowing I am not happy when I do it makes me work harder to do a good job.
Lando Norris
