"The time of getting fame for your name on its own is over. Artwork that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You don't go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a shit."

— Banksy

"Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself."

Harvey Fierstein

I saw that nothing was permanent. You don’t want to possess anything that is dear to you because you might lose it.

— Yoko Ono
