Some sadist metaphors courtesy Kurt Cobain
“I just became obsessed with turtles. I put them in a bathtub in the living room. They’re real docile. They don’t move they don’t show emotion. They’re so inanimate, ya know?

Natalie Massenet on the power of thoughts
“the power of your thoughts can influence how events turn out. I’m a positive person—when bad things happen, I can see the silver lining. As a result I think I’m very lucky, even though I probably have as much bad luck as anyone else, and that translates into seeing opportunity” More here

notthepaparazzi:
Clearly they have some fashionable genes, but could not have more different aesthetics and styles from each other. One being embellishment heavy with structure the other print heavy with loose silhouettes.

Hirocoledge & Co.
One of our aims is to break the stereotypical mindset of Japan, by making design and the world better with it. In our own country people are forgetting where we come from, our culture, our history, or designs aim to remind them of who we are, and how it is still relevant now.

On stories, success, accomplishment and discovery.
I have always admired people who do something I cannot.

You understand its/their mechanisms and modes of operation.
And then perhaps its in uncovering that secret that you realize that it isn’t their...
