If a man suddenly appears before me with a big beard and locks and the works, and performed this huge fucking miracle and said to me, "I am God", I'd say, "Fuck man, I didn't believe in ya but OK, you got me." But until that day he can fuck right off. ~ Liam Gallagher

I'm not built for the schmooze. I'm not good at small talk. I've got about one hand of friends and a few acquaintances. I'm cautious by nature and I don't like bullshit, so that doesn't bode well for being in a band. ~ Larry Mullen Jr

You have to study and learn so that you can make up your own mind about history and everything else but you can't make up an empty mind. Stock your mind. It is your house of treasure and no one in the world can interfere with it. If you won the Irish Sweepstakes and bought a house that needed furniture would you fill it with bits and pieces of rubbish? Your mind is your house and if you fill it with rubbish from the cinemas it will rot your head. You might be poor, your shoes might be broken but your mind is a palace. ~ Frank McCourt (from "Angela's Ashes")

Love your enemies in case your friends turn out to be a bunch of bastards. ~ R. A. Dickson

Faith is believing in the unbelievable, despite the evidence against it. ~ Gabriel Byrne

I use the music as a tool. I don't write lyrics when I'm happy. I write them to ease pain. When I'm depressed, lonely, stressed -- that's when I reach for the lyric book. For me the music has always been where I go for that explosive catharsis. So, yes, its kind of limited in scope. But on the other hand, I don't ask a can of peaches to be a zebra either. ~ Henry Rollins (from NME UK, March 1997)

There's no such thing as a mistake. There's what you do. And what you don't do. ~ Unknown

It takes more faith to believe that I came from a monkey than that I came from God. ~ Adam Atkin

You think your pains and heartbreaks are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who have ever been alive. ~ James Baldwin

There are a lot of people out there who think they can define you with statistics, stereotypes, and educated guesses. Obviously, they don't know you very well. ~ Unknown
