“I always make music that's reflective of the mindset I'm in at the time, how I'm feeling.” Quote by Ladyhawke
“I think we're coming into a time where it has to do with how you stand in relationship to your own world within and in relationship to those around you in the world without. And I believe these are the things that we need to put into our schools, education, into our psychotherapy and into our culture more, finding a way to not be so harsh and judgmental, so objectifying and dehumanizing, constantly focused within and trying to get these difficult thoughts and feelings to go away.” ThinkingWorldTryingBelieveFeelingsSchoolCultureI BelieveDifficultFocusedGoing AwayHarshJudgmentalPsychotherapy Author:Steven C.

“Our children are exposed to 10, 20, 30 times the number of words that our great-grandfathers were exposed to. We're exposed in a single day or two to more horror on our Internet Web pages than our great-grandfathers were exposed to in decades of living. We have not created modern minds for that modern world. Science and technology has just dumped it on us. And I think people yearn for it. I think you see it in what's popular. Why are people wanting to learn about meditation and talking about a purpose-driven life? It's because they know more is needed in the modern world.” PeopleThinkingWorldMindChildrenTechnologyMeditationModernInternetHorrorOur ChildrenScience And TechnologyDumped Author:Steven C. Hayes
“Poetry is basically built out of what I think of as being a fairly political act at its core: "I'm not going to listen to how you described things.

The mission of the poem, of course, is to try to find the way to do that in the smallest amount of space possible.” PeopleThinkingTryingPoliticalCulturePoetry IsWant U Author:Ted Genoways

“I don't think people who are supporting the food movement ever want to be in a position where they are opposing the workers who are dependent on the system. The companies are very good at setting up workers and activists in opposition to each other, and getting the message out to workers that those people are threatening their jobs.” PeopleThinkingVery GoodActivistThreatening Author:Ted Genoways
“What I want is for people to be treated better, to be paid better, and when you start doing something simple , it forces your price point up, which means that you have to produce a higher quality product in order to justify that.” PeopleMeanSimpleQualityJustify Author:Ted Genoways

“There's no question that public opinion is changing, and if you're a person of the left, your goal is presumably to try to mobilize public opinion to affect elite policy; and I think now there are unusual, unprecedented opportunities to do so.” ThinkingTryingOpportunityGoalOpinionPolicyUnusual Author:Norman Finkelstein
