“Hairdressers are professional gossips; when only the hands are busy, the tongue is seldom still.”

The Post Office Girl  • Stefan Zweig

“The moment we begin to seek love, love begins to seek us.”

By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept  • Paulo Coelho

“The feeling of self-assurance derived from physical achievement always transfers itself to the mental sphere.”

Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig

“Real art, like the wife of an affectionate husband, needs no ornaments. But counterfeit art, like a prostitute, must always be decked out. The cause of production of real art is the artist's inner need to express a feeling that has accumulated, just as for a mother the cause of sexual conception is love. The cause of counterfeit art, as of prostitution, is gain. The consequence of true art is the introduction of a new feeling into the intercourse of life, as the consequence of a wife's love is the birth of a new man into life. The consequences of counterfeit art are the perversion of man, pleasure which never satisfies, and the weakening of man's spiritual strength.”

What is art? • Leo Tolstoy

“We shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing, by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium.”

Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill
