Random quote of the day:

“Musicians must make music, artists must paint, poets must write if they are to be ultimately at peace with themselves. What human beings can be, they must be. They must be true to their own nature. This need we may call self-actualization.”

Random quote of the day:

“It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.”

Yourself

Posted by PJ under eccentricity, evil, individuality, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

—Joseph Brodsky, “A College Commencement Address,” Less Than One: Selected Essays
