"A character to me can't be contrived. I don't like to contrive characters. They have to have an element of truth."
Quote by -Jack Kirby
"I never duck out of a fight; I don't care what the hell the odds are, and I'm rough at times, but I try to be a decent guy all the time. That's the way I've always lived."
Quote by -Jack Kirby
"It's not letting your anger out that gets people hurt. Its keeping the anger locked up in side that hurts you."
Quote by -Jack Kirby
"I began to learn about the universe myself and take it seriously. I know the names of the stars. I know how near or far the heavenly bodies are from our own planet. I know our own place in the universe. I can feel the vastness of it inside myself. I began to realize with each passing fact what a wonderful and awesome place the universe is, and that helped me in comics because I was looking for the awesome."
Quote by -Jack Kirby
"The artist is the lowest form of life on the rung of the ladder. The publishers are usually businessmen who deal with businessmen. They deal with promotional people. They deal with financial people. They deal with accountants. They deal with people who work on higher levels. They deal with tax people, but have absolutely no interest in artists, in individual artists, especially very young artists."
Quote by -Jack Kirby
"I taught myself how to draw, and I soon found out it was what I really wanted to do. I didn't think I was going to create any great masterpieces like Rembrandt or Gauguin. I thought comics was a common form of art, and strictly American in my estimation, because America was the home of the common man - and show me the common man that can't do a comic. So comics is an American form of art that anyone can do with a pencil and paper."
Quote by -Jack Kirby
"If a carpenter makes a chair that's comfortable for the person who's going to sit in it, he's done his job. If a train engineer gets a train in on time, he's going to make someone happy who's waiting at the station. And if an artist draws the kind of a picture that people are going to enjoy looking at, or he makes a visual story which people are going to enjoy reading, he's done his job."
Quote by -Jack Kirby
"I feel that life is a series of very interesting questions, and very poor answers. But I myself am willing to settle for the questions. If the questions are interesting, I feel I evoke them in what I do. I feel that should be good enough for everyone else."
Quote by -Jack Kirby
"All life on Earth is subject to the rumbles and rockings of the parent stucture which has no control over the disastrous effects of its stresses and strains on whatever thrives on its surface. The ambitions and dreams of men are irrelevant to this planetary giant which pursues its own way in its own manner. Man is its child, tenant and still, to this date, its captive."
Quote by -Jack Kirby
What i like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.
Quote by -Karl Lagerfeld
Don’t sacrifice yourself too much, because if you sacrifice too much there’s nothing else you can give and nobody will care for you.
Quote by -Karl Lagerfeld
The only love that I really believe in is a mother’s love for her children.
Quote by -Karl Lagerfeld
People who do a job that claims to be creative have to be alone to recharge their batteries. You can’t live 24 hours a day in the spotlight and remain creative. For people like me, solitude is a victory.
Quote by -Karl Lagerfeld
A respectable appearance is sufficient to make people more interested in your soul
Quote by -Karl Lagerfeld
Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life so you bought some sweatpants.

People who say that yesterday was better than today are ultimately devaluing their own existence.

Quote by -Karl Lagerfeld
When people talk about the good old days, I say to people, 'It's not the days that are old, it's you that's old.' I hate the good old days. What is important is that today is good.
Quote by -Karl Lagerfeld
The secret to modeling is not being perfect. What one needs is a face that people can identify in a second. You have to be given what’s needed by nature, and what’s needed is to bring something new.
Quote by -Karl Lagerfeld
We need houses as we need clothes, architecture stimulates fashion. It’s like hunger and thirst — you need them both.
Quote by -Karl Lagerfeld
Forgiveness is too easy. I can forget by indifference, but not forgive. I prefer revenge.
Quote by -Karl Lagerfeld
I want everyone to wear what they want and mix it in their own way. That, to me, is what is modern.
Quote by -Karl Lagerfeld
Guilty feelings about clothes are totally unnecessary. A lot of people earn their living by making clothes, so you should never feel bad.
Quote by -Karl Lagerfeld
Chanel is an institution, and you have to treat an institution like a whore – and then you get something out of her
