“Punk rock isn’t something you grow out of, Punk rock is an attitude, and the essence of that attitude is ‘give us some truth’.”
Bill Murray
“Social media is training us to compare our lives, instead of appreciating everything we are. No wonder why everyone is always depressed.”
Pablo Picasso
“Inspiration does exist, but it must find you working.”
Dana Milbank
“If Trump is right — and he is so smart that he must be — then this could mean Americans wanted exactly what they are getting right now: a president who burns alliances, insults allies, sides with Putin over the American government, ignores Russia’s abuses and bashes the free press across Europe.
If so, if we Americans really did want this, Trump has proved his point about our intelligence.
As a wise man once said: Stupid is as stupid does.”
Benito Mussolini
“If you pluck the chicken one feather at a time no one will notice.”
John Cleese
“Snowflakes is a word used by sociopaths in an attempt to discredit the notion of empathy.”
Dan Rather
“The President of the United States trusts the word of a former KGB agent over the consensus of the American intelligence community backed by a ton of facts. That is a shocking reality. Everyone who excuses Trump’s behavior must answer that now, and when history inevitably judges.”
Steve Schmidt
“When Trump was elected, there were three parties in Washington: the Trump party, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. The Republican Party had every chance to put a check on his vile personal conduct, his administration’s outlandish corruption, his fetishizing and affinity for autocrats around the world and his undermining of the western alliance.”

“We’re in heavy times, with a global rise in authoritarian regimes; I often feel like I’m choking on my own dread of what may come.”

“If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.”

“I have spent much of my life working in GOP politics. I have always believed that both parties were two of the most important institutions to the advancement of human freedom and dignity in the history of the world. Today the GOP has become a danger to our democracy and values.”
Winston Churchill
“The British people can face any misfortune with fortitude and buoyancy as long as they are convinced that those who are in charge of their affairs are not deceiving them, or not themselves dwelling in a fool’s paradise.”
Fred Tomaselli
“We all make compromises every day to get by. However, if you’re making compromises in your art to get ahead in the art world, you sacrifice the most important aspect of your life.”
John Cleese
“I seem to have a licence to be naughty. Graham Chapman gave it to me and it’s still valid. In fact the older I get, the more valid it becomes because the self-righteous need my help, in their struggle for self awareness.”
Benjamin Franklin
“For my own part. I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen the representative of our country. He is a bird of bad moral character. He does not get his living honestly…besides he is a rank coward. The little king bird, not bigger than a sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him out of the district.”
Anthony Bourdain
“Your body is not a temple, it’s an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.”
Henry Moore
“There’s no retirement for an artist, it’s your way of living so there’s no end to it.”
Frederick Douglass
“It is not light that we need, but fire. It is not the gentle shower, but thunder.”
Charles Dickens
“There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast.”
