“In essence, I believe that no matter how alone we may feel in the world—how we imagine we are experiencing things in a vacuum—we all share the same human experiences. We all have the same basic needs for connection, love, and understanding. I try to reach those universal needs; it’s what’s primal in art. I try to say it through mood, color, atmosphere, and texture.“ –Malcolm Liepke

“Busco participar en el creación de un relato que me emocione, que me mueva a reflexionar y convierta mi existencia en algo mucho más excitante. No se me ocurre una sensación mejor.“ –Charlize Theron

"I would prefer to be referred to as just Ariana. But then some people were being like, what a hypocrite, because now she has a new boyfriend. But they're still missing the point. It doesn't matter whether I'm on my own or not. Whatever I decide to do with my body, with my heart, and with my life, I can still be my own person."

"I'm not going to pretend I have great breakup advice. It's hard. Good luck. You'll be fine. You don't need anyone. It's nice to have someone that makes you happy, but it's nice to be happy on your own as well. You don't need to depend on another person for your happiness. That person can contribute to your happiness, but you're two whole beings on your own. You can make each other glow, like you just ran through one of those rainbow stars in Mario Brothers, but you're still completely capable, sufficient, and beautiful, and can be happy on your own.”

“I have a million things to talk to you about. All I want in this world is you. I want to see you and talk. I want the two of us to begin everything from the beginning.” ― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

I’m the reason of my own unhappiness. There’s no one and nothing left to blame but me.

“We’re no different really – it’s all in your minds. I think British men build up the idea of us French girls having some magic extra sex appeal so much, they lose their heads. I can’t really understand the whole thing – but it makes me laugh. It’s such a cliché to think all French girls are well dressed, elegant, sophisticated and sexy. Some are utter slobs, I promise you that.”

Marilyn Monroe photographed by Sam Shaw in Roxbury Connecticut, 1957.

I think the major reason for her myth becoming larger and larger every day, for the legend growing on such a gigantic scale, is not the tragedy of her life. It’s the joy of the girl; she presented the joyous moment of a vibrant woman. ~ Sam Shaw.
