Quote by David Byrne

“Does asking oneself these questions in an attempt to see how the machine works spoil the enjoyment? It hasn’t for me. Music isn’t fragile. Knowing how the body works doesn’t take away from the pleasure of living.”

“Întinde mâinile, copile si spune-i mamei: te iubesc Atâtea nopţi a stat cu tine, atâtea griji o copleşesc... Și poate nu mai are timp, și poate nici putere n-are Dar te veghează și-și doreşte ca fiul ei să crească mare! Să fie bun si iertător, să aibă-n inimă credinţă Să fie demn și să ajute pe cei ce sunt în suferinţă. Să fie sănătos, cinstit și omenos cu cei din jur Să-mpartă raza de lumină de sub cerescul abajur. Să-mpartă florile iubirii curgând în vorbe cu blândeţe Și să-nţeleagă și părinţii care ajung la bătrâneţe... Întinde mâinile, copile, și spune-i mamei: te iubesc Ți-a dat viaţă, și în brațe eşti darul ei dumnezeiesc!”

“Todd’s wife was one of those women with a forced smile perpetually cemented on her face. Even after being chased by a mob of homicidal maniacs and attempting to barricade doors with barstools she kept up appearances, practicing for the days when her husband would be running for public office. When she saw her son poking at their former mail carrier’s dead body a look of utter horror came across her face for the slightest instant. She caught herself and put that smile back on so quickly Will wondered if she might have pulled a few cheek muscles. “Trevor!” she hissed through clenched teeth. “Trevor, you get away from that this instant! You don’t know what kind of diseases that man had. Children shouldn’t play with dead things.” Will looked at Todd and smirked. “Cute kid. How many of those things do you think are out there?”

“Above all: only grant the suspicion that sport is a pastime for the most stupid as much space as it deserves, do not misuse it as a pretext to drift further in your customary state of self-neglect, distrust the philistine in yourself who thinks you are just fine as you are! Hear the voice from the stone, do not resist the call to get in shape! Seize the chance to train with a god!”
