Authentic Quotations
I had no idea that being your authentic self could make me as rich as I've become. If I had, I'd have done it a lot earlier.
Oprah Winfrey
Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.
Albert Camus
I mean, whatever kills you kills you, and your death is authentic no matter how you die.
Jerry Garcia
When I am finishing a picture, I hold some God-made object up to it - a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand - as a final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it's bad art.
Marc Chagall
An authentic life is the most personal form of worship. Everyday life has become my prayer.
Sarah Ban Breathnach
The authentic self is the soul made visible.
Sarah Ban Breathnach
I think no artist can claim to have any access to the truth, or an authentic version of an event. But obviously they have slightly better means at their disposal because they have their art to energize whatever it is they're trying to write about. They have music.
Thom Yorke
What if the Soviet intervention was a blessing in disguise? It saved the myth that if the Soviets were not to intervene, there would have been some flowering authentic democratic socialism and so on. I'm a little bit more of a pessimist there. I think that the Soviets - it's a very sad lesson - by their intervention, saved the myth.
Slavoj Zizek
Conscience is the authentic voice of God to you.
Rutherford B. Hayes
To create a past that seemed authentic but would be a fiction, you need an invented language.
Jeanette Winterson
