We cannot speak a loyal word and be meanly silent, we cannot kill and not kill in the same moment; but a moment is room wide enough for the loyal and mean desire, for the outlash of a murderous thought and the sharp bakcward stroke of repetance.

I probably wouldn't be a songwriter if I didn't grow up the way I did. It was difficult and it was at times very scary to grow up in a household so unsettled and at times very violent. But, it also, I guess it earned me a sort of wisdom at a young age that's served me well.

I'd like to be rich. I'd like a lot of money to put into my physicals and to buy food for all my friends.

Syd Barrett

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

Winston Churchill

To honor him whom we have made is far from honoring him that hath made us..

Michel de Montaigne
