A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.

Mothers send strips to daughters to make a point. Daughters smack strips down on the breakfast table to make a point. My own mom sometimes cuts a strip out and sends it to me to make sure I understand her.

[Re: Rom 10:2] It is commonly said: The intention is good, and the purpose is true, but the means are misused. The goal which they seek is correct; but the way is wrong by which they endeavor to reach the goal. They want to go east and instead they are going west. The arrogant zeal of good intentions does the same today. The Apostle expresses himself very mildly when he says not according to knowledge. He wishes this to be understood in the sense that they set about with blind zeal, unwise urgency, and foolish purpose. That is the greatest danger; and it should serve us as an example that we may speak of the faults of the neighbor with mildness.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Writing fiction has developed in me an abiding respect for the unknown in a human lifetime and a sense of where to look for the threads, how to follow, how to connect, find in the thick of the tangle what clear line persists.

Eudora Welty

Joy lies in the fight, in the attempt, in the suffering involved, not in the victory itself

Mahatma Gandhi

The only true measure of success is the ratio between what we might have done and what we might have been on the one hand, and the thing we have made and the things we have made of ourselves on the other.

H. G. [Herbert George] Wells

Respect for ourselves guides our morals, respect for others guides our manners.

Laurence Sterne

Yes the truth is that men's ambition and their desire to make money are among the most frequent causes of deliberate acts of injustice.

Aristotle

Love is a springtime plant that perfumes everything with its hope, even the ruins to which it clings.

Gustave Flaubert

We should live, my Lesbia, and loveAnd value all the talk of stricterOld men at a single penny.Suns can set and rise again;For us, once our brief light has set,There's one unending night for sleeping.Give me a thousand kisses, then a hundred,Then another thousand, then a second hundred,Then still another thousand, then a hundred;Then, when we've made many thousands,We'll muddle them so as not to knowOr lest some villain overlook usKnowing the total of our kisses.(Translated by Guy Lee)

Catullus

No one is so brave that he is not disturbed by something unexpected.

Julius Caesar

Style is knowing who you are, what to say, and not giving a damn.

Gore Vidal

Adam does most of the work when it comes to videos and he basically does the same as I do with the lyrics. The videos are his visual interpretations of our music.
