- My favorite quote(s):
- "The artist is dead"- Hemingway
I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.
- Stephen Hawking
To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost.
- Gustave Flaubert
"Nobody's perfect... well there was this one guy but we killed him."- Anonymous
"If the milk industry can make their product seem sexy and increase consumer demand, there must be hope for music."
--Gary Arnold, Merchandising Manager, Best Buy
"Modern music is people who can't think signing artists who can't write songs to make records for people who can't hear."
--Frank Zappa
"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."
--Hunter S. Thompson
"Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it."
John Lennon
"I never met an asshole in the record business I didn't like."
--Irving Azoff
"Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night. I miss you like hell." ~Edna St Vincent Millay
"The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected." ~Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
"perhaps in seeking him
we will see what we can become"- CS Lewis
"i think if were a black people i this song it be better"- random person on youtube
"Along side the basic fact that God made us good (Psalm 8) is the equally basic fact that we have gone bad, something like the way good fruit goes bad. For our experience of sin consists not in doing bad but in being bad. It's a fundamental condition of our existence, not a temporary lapse in error. Confessing our sin isn't resolcing not to sin anymore; it's discovering what God has resolved to do is tune us in to the foot-tapping songs of forgiveness and set our once-broken bones to dancing." - Eugene Perterson, comments on Psalms 51 in The Message

I've been dreading the day I hear or say those words and here it is... I'll miss being a part of that great family of artistic individuals.
