Quote by Billie Joe Armstrong

The first time that you escape from home or the small town that you live in - there's a reason a small town is called a small town: It's because not many people want to live there.

The first time that you escape from home or the small town t

Summary

This quote suggests that leaving one's hometown or small town is often driven by a desire for something beyond the limited opportunities and experiences they offer. Small towns are referred to as such because they attract fewer individuals due to their limitations. By escaping, individuals seek the chance to explore a world with more possibilities and diversity, where they can broaden their horizons and chase their aspirations. It implies that the motivation to escape stems from the recognition that there is more to life than what a small town can offer.

Constant revolutionizing of production distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.

It's very important to go back and keep in mind the distinction between handling these events as criminal acts, which was the way we did before 9/11, and then looking at 9/11 and saying, 'This is not a criminal act,' not when you destroy 16 acres of Manhattan, kill 3,000 Americans, blow a big hole in the Pentagon. That's an act of war.
