"We have to have dreams, even if they never come true."

--

Oscar Niemeyer

“You live in a deranged age, more deranged that usual, because in spite of great scientific and technological advances, man has not the faintest idea of who he is or what he is doing.”
“Strange times are these in which we live when old and young are taught in falsehood's school, and the one man that dares to tell the truth is called at once a lunatic and fool.”
“Every child dances, and then you learn not to.”

“When you're not goal-striving, not looking forward, you're not really living.”
“Bad quarrels come when two people are wrong. Worse quarrels come when two people are right.”
“All you can write is what you see.”
“And talking about dark! You think dark is just one color, but it ain't. There're five or six kinds of black. Some silky, some woolly. Some just empty. Some like fingers. And it don't stay still, it moves and changes from one kind of black to another. Saying something is pitch black is like saying something is green. What kind of green? Green like my bottles? Green like a grasshopper? Green like a cucumber, lettuce, or green like the sky is just before it breaks loose to storm? Well, night black is the same way. May as well be a rainbow.”
“Books transmit values. They explore our common humanity. What is the message when some children are not represented in those books?”
