What's your name,' Coraline asked the cat. 'Look, I'm Coraline. Okay?'
'Cats don't have names,' it said.
'No?' said Coraline.
'No,' said the cat. 'Now you people have names. That's because you don't know who you are. We know who we are, so we don't need names.
from the book "" by Neil Gaiman

And everything together, all the voices,
all the destinations, all the wishes,
all the pains, all the joy, all the good and evil,
all that together made up your world.
All that was the river of what was to come,
it was life's music.
from the book "" by Hermann Hesse

You'll always have to face critisism!
They'll talk badly about you!
It'll be hard for you to meet someone
to whom you'll do fine as you are!
So live, do what your heart tells you to!
Compare life to a theatre play
without an initial rehearsal!
Dance, sing, laugh, living intensely
every day, every moment of your life,
before the show's over without any clapping!

Nothing was ever in tune. People just blindly grabbed at whatever there was: communism, health foods, zen, surfing, ballet, hypnotism, group encounters, orgies, biking, herbs, Catholicism, weight-lifting, travel, withdrawal, vegetarianism, India, painting, writing, sculpting, composing, conducting, backpacking, yoga, copulating, gambling, drinking, hanging around, frozen yogurt, Beethoven, Bach, Buddha, Christ, TM, H, carrot juice, suicide, handmade suits, jet travel, New York City, and then it all evaporated and fell apart. People had to find things to do while waiting to die. I guess it was nice to have a choice.
from the book "" by Charles Bukowski
in Quotes & Aphorisms (Life)
What a blessing it is that there is one art left to us that is not imitative! Don't stop. I want music tonight. It seems to me that you are the young Apollo, and that I am Marsyas listening to you. I have sorrows, Dorian, of my own, that even you know nothing of. The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young. I am amazed sometimes at my own sincerity.

My dear boy, you are really beginning to moralize. You will soon be going about like the converted, and the revivalist, warning people against all the sins of which you have grown tired. You are much too delightful to do that. Besides, it is no use. You and I are what we are, and will be what we will be. As for being poisoned by a book, there is no such thing as that. Art has no influence upon action. It annihilates the desire to act. It is superbly sterile. The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame. That is all.
from the book "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde
