“There is hatred, there is pain, there is bigotry There are those who try to steal human dignity The strength to love or the path of war Which one of these will you be fighting for? The more they have, the more they take The first and final great mistake To the ends of the Earth and back again The human race leaves a human stain We must shake off our complacency Live life that’s filled with urgency To the beauty, to the wonder of it all Don’t bow your head, don’t break, don’t fall Take control”

“People often say that true love always finds its way back. Yet, in the depths of my heart. I hold the believe that our love was indeed true. Still, our paths, it seems, are destined to remain parallel, Never to converge again. And so, I release you to live in peace, Knowing that what we shared was indeed true love. But true love doesn’t always mean it will come back.”

“Bring it. Just fucking bring it. Stand tall, Grandma Nora had told him: he would stand tall, with the spotlights shining on his face, and his music would pour into all their ears, and they would understand that no matter what anybody threw at him, he was not going away He was not stooping to their level. The air-conditioning could go off and he could melt. They could toss any piece of crappy music they wanted at him and he would play. He would not be ignored or denied or embarrassed ever again: he was a musician, and music had no color.”

“Listening to EDM while I worked gave me delusions of grandeur, but it kept me in a rhythm. It was the genre of my generation: the music of video games and computer effects, the music of the twenty-four-hour hustle, the music of proudly selling out. It was decadent and cheaply made, the music of ahistory, or globalization -or maybe nihilism, but fun. It made me feel like I had just railed cocaine, except happy. It made me feel like I was going somewhere. Was this what it felt like to hurtle through the world in a state of pure confidence, I wondered, pressing my fingers to my temples - was this what it was like to be a man?”
