"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And donât bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: âItâs not where you take things from - itâs where you take them to."
-Jim Jarmusch
"White Americans, what? Nothing better to do? Why don't you kick yourself out? You're an immigrant too? Who's usin' who? What should we do? Well you can't be a pimp and a prostitute too."
-Jack White
"Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."
-Conan O'Brien
You do what you love, and f*** the rest.

Sometimes it makes me sad, though... Andy being gone. I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their fea...Expand for more
thers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.
-Red (Shawshank Redemption)
"Man has always been drawn to the sea, but it's an unnatural setting for us, a place of great danger. Tides, currents, waves, wind each presenting their own hazards, none of which can be ignored. The slightest lapse of judgment can be a mistake you might never recover from. But a good sailor doesn't fight against these elements. A good sailor works with them, using them to his advantage. While others less fortunate might be forever cast adrift often in several pieces. He always comes home safely."
-Dexter Morgan
"'Lets go down down to the river to pray. But I'm so small I can barely be seen - how can this great love be inside of me?' Well look at your eyes - they're small in size, but they see enormous things."
-Aaron Weiss
"I have been Michael's number two guy for about 5 years. And we make a great team. We're like one of those classic famous teams. He's like Mozart and I'm like...Mozart's friend. No. I'm like Butch Cassidy and Michael is like...Mozart. You try and hurt Mozart? You're gonna get a bullet in your head courtesy of Butch Cassidy."
-Dwight Schrute
"What's the point if you hate, die and kill for love
Whats the point with a love that makes you hate and kill for."
-Jose Gonzalez
"I am perfect, and I have learned to accept all my problems and short comings, cause I am so visceral, yet deeply inept."
-Justin Pierre
"You're not the prettiest girl in town
I'm not the only boy with sullied clothes and a sullen frown, so
To hell with Valentine's, to hell with perfume
To hell with chocolates and picnics
And Sinatra tunes
Cuz while the rest of the girls are drowning in roses and songs he composes
And while the rest of the guys are all trying
All trying so hard"
-Damian Kulash".
