"Hail, horrors! hail,
Infernal World! and thou, profoundest Hell,
Receive thy new possessor – one who brings
A mind not to be changed by place or time.
The mind is its own place, and in itself
Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven
To reign is worth ambition, though in Hell:
Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven."
- Satan, in John Milton, Paradise Lost, Book 1, lines 249-264.
"Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens."
- Jimi Hendrix
"Si un instinct sublime n’attachait pas l’homme à sa patrie, la condition la plus naturelle sur la terre serait celle de voyageur."
"Que je me salisse et m’avilisse, je ne suis du moins l’esclave de personne. Je viens, je pars, et c’est comme si je n’étais pas venu. Je tourne la tête, et me voilà changé."

"He was one of the few people I was truly envious of. He didn’t know how good he was and he was plagued with insecurities. He used to say he was jealous of me because music is more accessible and it reached more people. He loathed the idea that art was appreciated by an elite group. When I heard that Jean-Michel had died, I was not surprised. He was too fragile for this world."
- Madonna (on Jean-Michel Basquiat, The Guardian 1996)
"As for the meaning of this word, I have looked in vain in other languages for an equivalent, though I find it difficult to imagine how anyone can understand the human soul without it.” The closest definition is a state of agony and torment created by the sudden sight of one’s own misery."
- Milan Kundera
"No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom."
- Vladmir Nabokov
"Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter."
- Oscar Wilde
