Quotes: David Lynch

"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men's store. A cat nap in your office chair. Or two cups of good, hot black coffee." 

–– David Lynch (1946-2025), American filmmaker, visual artist, musician and actor
