Aspirations Quotes

“You see, in our world, there exists a certain hierarchy. The people at the bottom devote their lives to achieve financial freedom, while those who have transcended higher, aspire for freedoms of a different kind. Most of us are so entangled, so helpless, that there never comes a time when money isn’t at the back of our minds. Most people spend their entire life at the bottom, constantly struggling to amass as much wealth as they can.”

“I have always tried for quality in everything I do. I don't have a problem with that; I have a problem with mediocrity.

It is only because I have the courage to stand by my ideas, my projects, and my aspirations that I am frequently branded as an egoist. I've yet to meet a person who isn't an egoist. Picasso was a magnificent egoist, and he painted his pictures because that's what he had to do. But I believe that, as egoistic as he was, Picasso created something for the human race that can never be repeated. The world would be a happier place if only there were more people capable of expressing their vision, ideas, and needs.”

“-I'd prefer to hear you speak, she said.
-Read it all the same.
'Early on certain individuals experience the frightening impossibility of living by themselves; basically they cannot bear to see their own life before them, to see it in its entirety without areas of shadow, without substance. Their existence is I admit an exception to the laws of nature, not only because this fracture of basic maladjustment is produced outside of any genetic finality but also by dint of the excessive lucidity it presupposes, an obviously transcendent lucidity in relation to the perceptual schemas of ordinary existence. It is sometimes enough to place another individual before them, providing he is taken to be as pure, as transparent as they are themselves, for this insupportable fracture to resolve itself as a luminous, tense and permanent aspiration towards the absolutely inaccessible. Thus, while day after day a mirror only returns the same desperate image, two parallel mirrors elaborate and edify a clear and dense system which draws the human eye into an infinite, unbounded trajectory, infinite in its geometrical purity, beyond all suffering and beyond the world.'

Finally she came out with: `That's interesting, the mirror . . '. She must have read something in Freud, or in The Mickey Mouse Annual. In the last analysis she was doing what she could, she was kind. Plucking up courage, she added:
-But I'd prefer that you spoke directly of your problems. Once again you're being too abstract.”
