"When youre an artist, you pick up on certain things that are in the air. You just feel it. Its not like youre sitting down, thinking, "What can I do to really mess things up?" Youre getting ideas, and then the ideas feed into a story, and the story takes shape. And if youre honest about it and youre thinking about characters and what they do, you now see that your ideas are about trouble. Youre feeling more depth, and youre describing something that is going on in some way."
David Lynch"I found the world completely and totally fantastic as a child. Of course, I had the usual fears, like going to school ... For me, back then, school was a crime against young people. It destroyed the seeds of liberty. The teachers didnt encourage knowledge or a positive attitude."
David Lynch"When I was little in Spokane, Washington I drew all the time... and my father would bring paper home ... and I mostly drew browning automatic water-cooled sub-machine guns... that was my favorite."
David Lynch"Theres so many problems in our world, so much negativity. Dont worry about the darkness — turn on the light and the darkness automatically goes. Ramp up the light of unity within — help do that for yourself, help do that for the world and then were really doing something, were doing something that brings that light of unity."

Theres many little obstacles and theres many, many people that are just opposed and were not going forward."
David Lynch"All the movies are about strange worlds that you cant go into unless you build them and film them. Thats whats so important about film to me. I just like going into strange worlds."

E. E. Cummings"true lovers in each happening of their hearts live longer than all which and every who"
E. E. Cummings"What concerns me fundamentaly is a meteoric burlesk melodrama, born of the immemorial adage love will find a way."
E. E. Cummings"Who made you glorious as the gates of heaven Beneath the keen full moon? Who bade the sun Clothe you with rainbows? Who, with living flower Of loveliest blue, spread garlands at your feet? God! let the torrents, like a shout of nations, Answer! and let the ice-plains echo, God!

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
