“DANNY RAMPLING: House music … when it blew up in the UK and in London, the message was about one family, the message was hope, inclusion, faith, positivity and change. There was massive change under way, there was a huge shift under way and everyone felt it. When punk came along in the 70s, there was a movement going on there and there was an energy, a really good strong energy, things happening every night. Punk was inclusive, but it was all about drop-outs, there was all that anarchy, whereas this was about love, optimism, inclusion – and we were all having the time of our lives.”
Alon Shulman, The Second Summer of Love: How Dance Music Took Over the World

“Even as a child she had lived her own small life within herself. At a very early period she had apprehended instinctively the dual life - that outward existence which conforms, the inward life which questions.”
