Here they are: "Any time you have an opportunity to make a difference in this world and you don't, then you are wasting your time on Earth." (Roberto Clemente) "The creative adult is the child who has survived." (Ursula K. Le Guin) "Dreams are like stars...you may not touch every one of them in the exact way you envisioned, but if you will follow them they will lead you to your destiny." "There are things you do because they feel right and they make no sense and they may make no money and it may be the real reason we are here: to love each other and break bread together and say it was good..." (Brian Andreas) "We need to show love and to love, not only our kids and our families but also our neighbors. We're all brothers and sisters, and we must give each other a helping hand when it is needed..." (Roberto Clemente) "We are all born children. The trick is how to remain one." (Picasso) "There comes a time in life when you walk away from the drama and the people who create it. Surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, and pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living." "Make Art, not war." "Grace is the face love wears when it meets imperfection..." "I've always wanted to tell stories, stories that came from my soul - make them see pictures, make them cry and laugh, take them anywhere with something as deceptively simple as words. I'd like to tell tales to move their souls and transform them..." (Michael Jackson) "Art is not a pastime but a priesthood." (Jean Cocteau) "Art is not a subject. It's a way of life. It's the only subject you use from the time you open your eyes in the morning until you close them at night. Everything you look at has art or the lack of art." (Joseph Fitzpatrick, my childhood art teacher at the Carnegie Museum) "All are not lost who wander..." (J. R.R. Tolkien) "Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable..." (John Wooden) "If you want to know all about me, just look at the surface of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There's nothing behind it." (Andy Warhol) "Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today..." (James Dean) "Only the valiant can create. Only the daring should make films. Only the artistically incorrupt will earn and keep the people's trust." (Frank Capra) "The glory of God is man fully alive..." (Saint Ireneus) "Be careful, or you might end up in my novel." "A journal or sketchbook freezes time. It's an instantaneous form of meditation focusing us on the worth of every passing moment..." (Julia Cameron) "All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them..." (Walt Disney) "Opportunity is a haughty angel who wastes not her time on the unprepared..." "A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet..." (Orson Welles) "You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try." (Beverly Sills) "Greenlight yourself!" "I am still learning." (Michelangelo) "Art is worship. The more thou strivest to perfect it, the closer wilt thou come to God. When thy fingers grasp the paint brush, it is as if thou wert at prayer in the temple." (Abdul Baha) "Find a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life..." (Confucius) "Just remember in the winter/far beneath the bitter snows/lies the seed that with the sun's love/in the spring becomes the rose" "Be gentle with yourself..." "An angel stands beside every blade of grass, bending over and whispering, 'Grow...Grow...'" (The Talmud) "Today isn't like any other day, you know."
