“Excessive submission to social authority is one of the biggest killers of innovation. Things that carry social authority can only ever be things that already exist as being popular and accepted. A good way to side-step the hypnotic cage that social authority traps us in is to explore areas that are not considered to be prestigious or valid. The most innovative of the popular musicians are always influenced partly by music genres that are unpopular. By finding the best aspects of those less popular genres and bringing them into play with the qualities of a more popular style of music, they are able to create a fresh sound that a mainstream audience is ready for.”

“You think your silence means peace, but to me, it feels like a distance I never chose. You call it space, I call it disappearing. You call it calm, I call it coldness. Silence doesn’t always heal, it sometimes kills what words could have saved. And maybe one day, you will realize that ignoring someone who cared was never peace, it was a slow destruction of a beautiful relationship.”
