Imagination means nothing without doing.
— Charlie Chaplin (Happy Birthday, Ol’ Tramp!)
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.
— Samuel Beckett
Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.

One of the most beautiful image images I’ve ever seen in my life.
Because the truth is… it was the best of times. Mistakes were made, hearts were broken, harsh lessons learned.
— Tom Kapinos, Dawson’s Creek/Californication
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
— Steve Jobs
Be undeniably good. When people ask me how do you make it in show business or whatever, what I always tell them and nobody ever takes note of it ‘cause it’s not the answer they wanted to hear — what they want to hear is here’s how you get an agent, here’s how you write a script, here’s how you do this — but I always say, ‘Be so good they can’t ignore you.’ If somebody’s thinking, ‘How can I be really good?’, people are going to come to you. It’s much easier doing it that way than going to cocktail parties.
— Steve Martin (via petervidani)
