Life's so fragile, a successful virus clinging to a speck of mud, suspended in endless nothing.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
I’m going to let myself roar loud enough to bring down a mountain.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Sometimes one likes foolish people for their folly better than wise people for their wisdom.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
It is always cruel to laugh at people, of course, although sometimes if they are wearing an ugly hat it is hard to control yourself.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
I don’t think we should base so much on weight, muscles, and a good hair day.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
This one is for a good friend who cannot be here for a while.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
From far off they look like beautiful shooting stars, but in reality they're nothing more than prisons, where each of us is locked up alone, going nowhere.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
The world is quiet here.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
If I could see everything, as the clouds do, would I swirl around this remaining continent, still so full of color and life and seasons, wanting to protect it?
Frank Hendriks Photography:
It's slow going up and quick going down.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
The only way a woman can ever reform a man is by boring him so completely that he loses all possible interest in life.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
People always ask me: "Son what does it take to reach out and touch your dreams?" To them I always say: "Are you hungry? Are you thirsty?"
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Jesus. This must be what feelings are. This is why people write poems! I get it now. I get it, and I want more.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Beauty cleans the mind.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Whenever I'm sad I'm going to die, or so nervous I can't sleep, or in love with somebody I won't be seeing for a week, I slump down just so far and then I say: 'I'll go take a hot bath.”
Frank Hendriks Photography:
My depression is the most faithful mistress I have known - no wonder, then, that I return the love.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Communism, health foods, zen, surfing, ballet, hypnotism, group encounters, orgies, vegetarianism, yoga, copulating, suicide, drinking, hanging around, and then it all evaporated and fell apart.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Someday I will stop being young and wanting stupid tattoos.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
People speak sometimes about the "bestial" cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
I realized it for the first time in my life: there is nothing but mystery in the world, how it hides behind the fabric of our poor, browbeat days, shining brightly, and we don't even know it.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
I was raised the old-fashioned way, with a stern set of moral principles: Never lie, cheat, steal or knowingly spread a venereal disease.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Now more than ever do I realize that I will never be content with a sedentary life, that I will always be haunted by thoughts of a sun-drenched elsewhere.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
They say that depression makes you see everything in a negative light. I disagree. It makes you take off the fucking rose-tinted glasses and see the world as it really is. All that ridiculous optimism, all that carpe diem and life-is-what-you-make-of-it.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
When facing a difficult task, act as though it's impossible to fail.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
On such a day I would not choose to be anyone else or any place else.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
And there it stopped.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were, but without it we go nowhere.
