Quote by Keith Richards

“And you lay the old folder out. "Hmmmm. I say, we've had a good look at this, Keith, and it does show some promise. By the way, do you make a good cup of tea?" I said yes, but not for you. I walked off with my folio--it was green, I remember--and I dumped it in the garbage can when I got downstairs. That was my final attempt to join society on their terms.”

“I believe that whether we live in America or in any part of the world, we need to stand against turning ourselves into customers. We are first and foremost humans and citizens, and those attributes allow us to have a dialogue with each other, to fight injustice and violence together, to hold those in power accountable together, to protect the vulnerable and the disempowered members in our society together, and to help each other in times of need collectively. As customers, we are just lonely and isolated individuals measured by our paychecks, the expiration dates on our corporate cards, and the ability to afford or not afford this or that corporate service. It weakens our collective power. Being a customer or a consumer turns everything human, beautiful, and enjoyable into an unpleasant job responsibility. It robs us the pleasure of living.”

“È vero che oggi esiste un nuovo moralismo le cui parole-chiave sono giustizia, pace, conservazione del creato, parole che richiamano dei valori essenziali di cui abbiamo davvero bisogno. Ma questo moralismo rimane vago e scivola così, quasi inevitabilmente, nella sfera politico-partitica.[...]Il moralismo politico, come l'abbiamo vissuto e come lo viviamo ancora, non solo non apre la strada alla rigenerazione, ma la blocca. Lo stesso vale, di conseguenza, anche per un cristianesimo e per una teologia che riducono il nocciolo del messaggio di Gesù, il "Regno di Dio", ai "valori del Regno", identificando questi valori con le grandi parole d'ordine del moralismo politico, e proclamandole, nello stesso tempo, come sintesi delle religioni.”
