“First you have to know what you are going to paint: a man or a fish or a bird or a leaf or an animal, and what it looks like.
Then you must know how it moves, runs, creeps, swims or flies.
For many that would be the end of their art effort, but some go ahead and paint sadness and happiness, fear and courage.
Only a few reach the point at which they can paint a smell and a taste of fruits or even, silence in the dream. If you can do all these things then you must know the way to bring a story and a picture together.
Everything must be done at the right place and on the right time, so the tensions in the book rises as in the theatre.” —Jozef Wilkon

“We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and — in spite of True Romance magazines — we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely — at least, not all the time — but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don’t see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.” —Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967 (via liquidnight)
