“Love is touching souls”
Surely you touched mine
‘Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time”

“Do you take pride in your hurt? Does it make you seem large and tragic? … Well, think about it. Maybe you’re playing a part on a great stage with only yourself as audience.”

John Steinbeck - East of Eden

And God said, “Let there be Rock.” And there was Led Zeppelin and it was good.

“And people are often unable to do anything, imprisoned as they are in I don’t know what kind of terrible, terrible, oh such terrible cage. […] Do you know what makes the prison disappear? Every deep, genuine affection. Being friends, being brothers, loving, that is what opens the prison, with supreme power, by some magic force. Without these one stays dead. But whenever affection is revived, there life revives.”

Vincent Van Gogh
