“We may spark something or set something in motion in another person's life by something we've done. Perhaps in a car accident we injure someone. Perhaps as a manager, we fire someone. There are a lot of things that could precipitate something negative in another person's life. But does that make us responsible for everything that follows from it? Is there a statute of limitations?” DoneCarNegativeResponsibleLimitationCar Accident Author:George Harrar

“I just don't think it's healthy to only have one pursuit, even if it's a seemingly positive thing. You can do a positive thing to the nth degree, and it turns on you at some point. You become stuck.” ThinkingHealthyStuck Author:George Harrar
“In terms of morality, we can be very narrowly focused. So convinced of our point of view and righteousness, and it just doesn't allow for circumstance or other people's points of view.

“A lot of my songs are very personal, always, but this one felt like a memoir. I almost called it Hallucinated Memoir. "Granny" is a hallucinated memoir. It's straight-up symbolism for my life, in many ways.” SongMemoirGranny Author:Vic Chesnutt
“Pablo Picasso said, "Art is the lie that tells the truth," and it's not a terribly radical statement. It's always been that you can tell truth through fiction. And this idea also comes from nuclear physics.” ArtLyingArt IsPhysicsRadicalTelling The Truth Author:Momus
“Quantum physics says that there is an infinite number of possibilities and parallels to the one that we know, and every event is also played out in a parallel world. It's kind of a crazy idea, but someone called Saibal Mitra at the University of Amsterdam says that if you could back up your memory in case of a catastrophic event, you could actually revert to that back-up and find an alternative world in which the Earth didn't explode or collide with Mars.” WorldKindEarthMemoriesCrazyPossibilityInfinitePhysicsOur MemoriesQuantum Physics Author:Momus
“We are making fun of stuff. It is subversive, I think, and in many ways political. It's a reaction against the society we live in, very much so. When we make a commercial for a product that doesn't do anything.” ThinkingPoliticalFun Author:Tim Heidecker
