What happens when you take some of the most thought provoking quotes and pair them with fresh photography and works of art? PixPlacebo is a group art project dedicated to this task. We've collected and sourced great quotes from antiquity to the present day. Contributors supply images and then select and format the quote to fit with their work. The end result, we hope, is a fresh take on an old idea. This is an active project with photographers and artists from around the world contributing daily.

If you've ever been young and alone in a foreign country, we're betting you'll melt after watching "Live The Language," a series of videos which combine exquisite typography and playful visuals to cinematically capture the joy (and uncertainty, and terror, and everything else) of learning a new language in a strange city. Take the video for Paris, for example. Jean-Luc Godard famously said that all you need to make a movie is a girl and a gun, but after watching this and literally tearing up at the end, I propose an amendment: all you need is a girl and a font. The films' luscious imagery comes courtesy of cinematographer Niklas Johansson, but the type -- by Barcelona-based designer and art director Albin Holmqvist -- is what truly makes them magical.
