For the first time I understood the haunting beauty of the song. It was the song of a killer who longed to die. It was the song of justice yearned for but not yet done.

I've always made a total effort, even when the odds seemed entirely against me. I never quit trying; I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.

Arnold Palmer

Every new stroke of civilization has cost the lives of countless brave men, who have fallen defeated by the dragon, in their efforts to win the apples of the Hesperides, or the fleece of gold. Fallen in their efforts to overcome the old, half sordid savagery of the lower stages of creation, and win the next stage.

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

The music I do is food... that will be your dinner.

Ziggy Marley

Monarchies, aristocracies, and religions are all based upon that large defect in your race -- the individual's distrust of his neighbor, and his desire, for safety's or comfort's sake, to stand well in his neighbor's eye. These institutions will always remain, and always flourish, and always oppress you, affront you, and degrade you, because you will always be and remain slaves of minorities. There was never a country where the majority of the people were in their secret hearts loyal to any of these institutions.

Mark Twain

My interest in desperation lies only in that sometimes I find myself having become desperate. Very seldom do I start out that way. I can see of course that, in the abstract, thinking and all activity is rather desperate.

Willem de Kooning

The world is full of people who never quite get into the first team and who just miss the prizes at the flower show.

Jacob Bronowski

There are minds so impatient of inferiority that their gratitude is a species of revenge, and they return benefits not because recompense is a pleasure for them, but because obligation is a pain.

Samuel Johnson, The Rambler (175

In BANKSY we trust.

Colin Tegerdine

Kindness in your dealings with yourself and others will work wonders in your life. Much more so than rightness in your thinking.

Kim R. Shaffer

A single idea, if it is right, saves us the labor of an infinity of experiences.

Jacques Maritain

Courtly love is forbidden but morally transcendent. If the secret gets out, relations between judges and lawyers could do a lot for our corrupt legal system.

Bauvard

The state is the great fictitious entity by which everyone seeks to live at the expense of everyone else.

Frederic Bastiat
