The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races. The economics of this musical Esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud.

A sentence should be read as if its author, had he held a plough instead of a pen, could have drawn a furrow deep and straight to the end.

Henry David Thoreau

It's funny I actually made poorer decisions when I sobered up then when I was screwed up.

Corey Feldman

His friends he loved. His direst earthly foes -- cats -- I believe he did but feign to hate. My hand will miss the insinuated nose, mine eyes the tail that wagg'd contempt at Fate.

Sir William Watson

In a lot of aspects it's cooler that we don't have a lot of really overly famous people in the band.

Neal Schon

You have to begin to lose your memory, if only in bits and pieces, to realize that memory is what makes our lives. Life without memory is no life at all, just as an intelligence without the possibility of expression is not really an intelligence. Our memory is our coherence, our reason, our feeling, even our action. Without it, we are nothing.

Luis Bunuel

Dennis Rainey

Live neither in the past nor in the future, but let each day's work absorb your entire energies, and satisfy your widest ambition.

William Osler

Purity of mind and idleness are incompatible

Mahatma Gandhi

The greatest homage we can pay truth is to use it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I love everything that's beautiful. A lot of things.

Ursula Andress

The difficulty with marriage is that we fall in love with a personality, but must live with a character.

Peter De Vries
