”Vulgarity is a very important ingredient in life.  I’m a great believer in vulgarity- if it’s got vitality.  A little bad taste is like a nice splash of paprika.  We all need a splash of bad taste- it’s hearty, it’s healthy, it’s physical.  I think we could use more of it.  No taste is what I’m against.”

- Diana Vreeland

"You could walk in the evening with someone you loved, and no one would recognize you and no one would care, which is, perhaps, one definition of peace."

“If there’s any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone, sharing something. I know, it’s almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt.”

— Before Sunrise (1995, dir. Richard Linklater)

You are so young, all still lies ahead of you, and I should like to ask you, as best I can, dear Sir, to be patient towards all that is unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms, like books written in a foreign tongue. Do not now strive to uncover answers: they cannot be given you because you have not been able to live them. And what matters is to live everything. Live the questions for now.

—Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

I know there is no straight road No straight road in this world Only a giant labyrinth Of intersecting crossroads. And steadily our feet keep walking and creating.
