Miyamoto Musashi
“Do not sleep under a roof. Carry no money or food. Go alone to places frightening to the common brand of men. Become a criminal of purpose. Be put in jail, and extricate yourself by your own wisdom.”
Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings: Miyamoto Musashi

Jimi Hendrix
“Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music. ”
Jimi Hendrix

Jimi Hendrix
“All I'm writing is just what I feel, that's all. I just keep it almost naked. And probably the words are so bland.”
Jimi Hendrix

Edward L. Bernays
“Bernays sold the myth of propaganda as a wholly rational endeavor, carried out methodically by careful experts skilled enough to lead “public opinion.” Consistently he casts himself as a supreme manipulator, mastering the responses of a pliable, receptive population. “Conscious and intelligent manipulation,” “invisible governors,” “they who pull the wires which control the public mind,” “shrewd persons operating behind the scenes,” “dictators exercising great power,” and, below them, people working “as if actuated by the touch of a button”—these are but a few expressions of the icy scientistic paradigm that evidently drove his propaganda practice, and that colored all his thinking on the subject. The propagandist rules. The propagandized do whatever he would have them do, exactly as he tells them to, and without knowing it.”
Edward L. Bernays, Propaganda

Edward L. Bernays
“Here was an extraordinary state accomplishment: mass enthusiasm at the prospect of a global brawl that otherwise would mystify those very masses, and that shattered most of those who actually took part in it. The Anglo-American drive to demonize “the Hun,” and to cast the war as a transcendent clash between Atlantic “civilization” and Prussian “barbarism,” made so powerful an impression on so many that the worlds of government and business were forever changed.”
Edward L. Bernays, Propaganda
