“The health dollar is very precious. When someone has such a bad condition as brain cancer, we know they're going to die and they're usually going to die within 12 months of diagnosis.

“Metallica lives in a little bubble. We just do our own thing. We're not part of any trends or waves or fads. We can just do our own thing, all the time. It's a great luxury. I don't think we were really appreciative of it until recently, and really understood that it is what keeps us alive. It's great to be able to have the freedom to run around and do all this crazy stuff, and at all cost, avoid making another record, just to piss our managers off.” ThinkingLittlesRunningAbleStuffRecordsAliveCrazyCostUnderstoodWaveLuxuryManagersTrendsBubblesFadsAppreciativeMetallica Author:Lars Ulrich

“Look what you've already come through! Don't deny it. You've already come through some things, which are very painful. If you've been alive until you're 35, you have gone through some pain.

I'm stronger than I thought I was."” IfsWellsLooksPainWaitingGoneAliveMinutesCostStrongerPainfulDenyLook At Yourself Author:Maya Angelou
“It is clear that we must trust what is difficult; everything alive trusts in it, everything in Nature grows and defends itself any way it can and is spontaneously itself, tries to be itself at all costs and against all opposition. We know little, but that we must trust in what is difficult is a certainty that will never abandon us; it is good to be solitary, for solitude is difficult; that something is difficult must be one more reason for us to do it.” KnowsWayTryingLittlesReasonGrowsDifficultClearAliveCostSolitudeCertaintyOppositionAbandonSolitary Author:Rainer Maria Rilke
