Erik Satie

“Creativity comes from the part of the brain that is veritable soup of experiences, memories and influences. We really don't like to start questioning exactly where it comes from, in case it stops coming.”
“Every male in the world thinks he's an excellent driver. Every copper who's ever had to pick an eyeball out of a puddle knows that most of them are kidding themselves.”
“Mendanbar took a deep breath. You could stay here. At the castle, I mean. With me. This wasn't coming out at all the way he had wanted it to, but it was too late to stop now. He hurried on, As Queen of the Enchanted Forest, if you think you would like that. I would.”
“The north German does not go in for extremes. He has broader horizons than the men from the mountains of Bavaria and Austria.”

“There are real indignities and real problems when all facets of life are controlled â€“when to get up, to eat, to shower-and chemicals are put inside our bodies against our will.”
“At the start of the process the idea is just a thought - very fragile and exclusive. When the first physical manifestation is created everything changes. It is no longer exclusive, now it involves a lot of people.”
“I think about that with kids - you want to do everything for them, but you realize if you do everything and you make it easy on them, they won't learn anything and then they will walk around life needing their mamas all the time, and that isn't attractive.”
“I have made so many mistakes as a mother. But the one thing that I know I do is I make sure my children know how much I love them and they are absolutely secure in that.”
