“In the beginning was the word, and primitive societies venerated poets second only to their leaders. A poet had the power to name and so to control; he was, literally, the living memory of a group or tribe who would perpetuate their history in song; his inspiration was god given and he was in effect a medium.”
― Kevin Crossley-Holland, The Norse Myths

“The revolution is just a T-shirt away.

- Waiting for the Great Leap Forward”
― Billy Bragg, A Lover Sings: Selected Lyrics

“But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.”
― T.S. Eliot

“Music, to me, is the most beautiful form, and I love film because film is very related to music. It moves by you in its own rhythm. It's not like reading a book or looking at a painting. It gives you its own time frame, like music, so they are very connected for me. But music to me is the biggest inspiration. When I get depressed, or anything, I go "think of all the music I haven't even heard yet!" So, it's the one thing. Imagine the world without music. Man, just hand me a gun, will you?”
― Jim Jarmusch
