I was in a really crummy pop-punk band. I think we did a whole bunch of Blink-182 covers, and we were on the fringe of losers and jocks. So we invited all the cool kids to come watch us play in our bass player's brother's bedroom. And it was terrible, but everyone thought we were so cool.

These people abstain, it is true: but the bitch Sensuality glares enviously out of all they do.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I always knew I'd be in music in some sort of capacity. I didn't know if I'd be successful at it, but I knew I'd be doing something in it. Maybe get a job in a record store. Maybe even play in a band. I never got into this to be a star.

Bryan Adams

I never wanted to go on stage alone because if you mess up, who can you blame?

Patti LaBelle

There are some remedies worse than the disease.

Publilius Syrus

The heart never grows better by age; I fear rather worse, always harder. A young liar will be an old one, and a young knave will only be a greater knave as he grows older.

Lord Chesterfield

There are some frauds so well conducted that it would be stupidity not to be deceived by them.

Charles Caleb Colton

Family is more than blood

Cassandra Clare

Week after week, the heads of Red Army Intelligence received updates on the Wehrmacht's preparations.

Leopold Trepper

Many years ago I was so innocent I still considered it possible that we could become the humane and reasonable America so many members of my generation used to dream of. We dreamed of such an America during the Great Depression, when there were no jobs. And then we fought and often died for that dream during the Second World War, when there was no peace.But I know now that there is not a chance in hell of America becoming humane and reasonable. Because power corrupts us, and absolute power corrupts us absolutely. Human beings are chimpanzees who get crazy drunk on power. By saying that our leaders are power-drunk chimpanzees, am I in danger of wrecking the morale of our soldiers fighting and dying in the Middle East? Their morale, like so many lifeless bodies, is already shot to pieces. They are being treated, as I never was, like toys a rich kid got for Christmas.

Kurt Vonnegut

Metal is still the biggest music now in America.

Sebastian Bach

As long as any adult thinks that he, like the parents and teachers of old, can become introspective, invoking his own youth to understand the youth before him, he is lost.

Margaret Mead

Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.

Peter Drucker
