"I get out, I get out of all your boxes."

-- Lauryn Hill

“Poor animals! How jealously they guard their pathetic bodies...that which to us is merely an evening's meal, but to them is life itself.”
“We've heard this before; 'things are bad, we are gonna fix them,' and they remain unfixed.”
“Once a secret society establishes itself within an open society, there is no end to the hideous mistrust it must cause.”
“Desire's wind blasts the thorntree but after it becomes from a bramblebush to be a rose upon the rood of time.”
“I won't go into a big spiel about reincarnation, but the first time I was in the Gucci store in Chicago was the closest I've ever felt to home.”
“So long as there is any subject which men may not freely discuss, they are timid upon all subjects.”
“Easter occurs on different dates each year because, like the Jewish Passover, it is based upon the vernal equinox, that dramatic moment when the hours of the day-light and the hours of darkness at last draw parallel and then the light finally and triumphantly wins out. Thus Easter is always fixed as the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox. It's a cosmic, solar, and lunar event as deeply rooted in religious traditions originating from sun-god worship as one could conceivably imagine.”
“I am not anxious to be the loudest voice or the most popular. But I would like to think that at a crucial moment, I was an effective voice of the voiceless, an effective hope of the hopeless.”
