Words to inspire

Insist upon yourself. Be Original.

Listen Carefully: Every collaborator who enters our orbit brings with them a world more strange and complex than any we could ever hope to imagine. By listening to the details and the subtlety of their needs, desires or ambitions, we fold their world into our own. Neither party will ever be the same.  --Bruce Mau from ''An Incomplete Manifesto for Growth''

Every set that I did in the gym, every repetition I did on chin-ups or on squats with 500 pounds, I never said to myself, ‘Oh my God, another rep.' I said, ‘Yes! Another rep, another rep,' because that will make my dream turn into reality.
--Arnold Schwarzenegger

Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist.
--Edward Hopper

They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
--Andy Warhol

A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind.

20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
--Mark Twain

You've gotta fake it till you make it.
--Tyra Banks from Next Top Model
