"For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream." Vincent van Gogh

"Until I met you I never knew anyone who challenged enough of the real heart and mind of me."
Clare Boothe Luce (to her future husband, Henry)

"Art is in itself a 'happy end', despair becomes sublime, pain beautiful."
Herbert Marcuse

"You must always have great, secret, big fat hopes for yourself in love and in life. The bigger, the better."
Glora Vanderbilt

"Only that day dawns to which we are awake."
Henry David Thoreau (Walden)

"What if there is no God and you only go around once and that's it. Well, you know, don't you want to be part of the experience? You know, what the hell, it's not all a drag. And I'm thinking to myself, Jeez, I should stop ruining my life searching for answers I'm never going to get, and just enjoy it while it lasts. And after who knows, I mean maybe there is something, nobody really knows. I know 'maybe' is a very slim reed to hang your whole life on, but that's the best we have. And then I started to sit back, and I actually began to enjoy myself."
Woody Allen as Mickey in Hannah and Her Sisters (1986).

"A sense of security, of well-being, of summer warmth pervades my memory. That robust reality makes a ghost of the present. The mirror brims with brightness; a bumblebee has entered the room and bumps against the ceiling. Everything is as it should be, nothing will ever change, nobody will ever die."
Vladimir Nabakov (Speak, Memory)
