"Itâ€™s a revolution. But itâ€™s the sort of revolution that no one will notice. It might get a little shadier. Buildings might function better. You might have less money to earn because your food is all around you and you donâ€™t have any energy costs. Giant amounts of money might be freed up in society so that we can provide for ourselves better... So itâ€™s a revolution. But permaculture is anti-political. There is no room for politicians or administrators or priests. And there are no laws either. The only ethics we obey are: care of the earth, care of people, and reinvestment in those ends."

-- Bill Mollison

Sarah already had an abortion. She knew where to get one. Sarah and Linda were just looking for somebody, anybody, to further their own agenda. I was their willing dupe. For this, I will forever be ashamed.”

The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another.”
“I do think that music has a special ability to get behind enemy lines and win hearts and minds.”
“Music is my life, if I am without music or if I can't sing any more, I die, I'm nothing... because music is everything.”
“Everyone has to scratch on walls somewhere or they go crazy”

“I am who I am, I am what I am, I do what I do and I ain't never gonna do it any different. I don't care who likes it and who don't.”
“It's about avoiding reality through various escape routes that become addictions and lead to Hell. My character is addicted to television, chocolate, coffee, to her dream of her son, which has no basis in reality.”
