“The potential beauty of human life is constantly made ugly by man's ever recurring song of retaliation. The oceans of history are made turbulent by the ever rising tides of revenge. Man has never risen above the injunction of the lex talionis: "Life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot." In spite of the fact that the law of revenge solves no social problems, men continue to follow its disastrous leading. History is cluttered with the wreckage of nations and individuals that pursued this self-defeating path.” MenHumansMadeSelfFactsProblemHandsEyeLawLife IsSongIndividualNationsSocialPathFeetOceanUglySolveRevengeTeethHuman LifeRisingSpiteTidesPursuedRisenRecurringSocial ProblemsRetaliationWreckage Author:Martin Luther King, Jr.

“In Prison Wearily, drearily, Half the day long, Flap the great banners High over the stone; Strangely and eerily Sounds the wind's song, Bending the banner-poles. While, all alone, Watching the loophole's spark, Lie I, with life all dark, Feet tethered, hands fettered Fast to the stone, The grim walls, square lettered With prisoned men's groan. Still strain the banner-poles Through the wind's song, Westward the banner rolls Over my wrong.” MenLifeLongStillsHandsLyingSongSoundDarkHalfFeetWindWallStonesPrisonSparksSquaresStrainGrimAll AloneBannerBendingLoopholes Book:Collected Works Source: Collected Works
“Between the years of ninety-two and a hundred and two, however, we shall be the ribald, useless, drunken, outcast person we have always wished to be. We shall have a long white beard and long white hair; we shall not walk at all, but recline in a wheel chair and bellow for alcoholic beverages; in the winter we shall sit before the fire with our feet in a bucket of hot water, a decanter of corn whiskey near at hand, and write ribald songs against organized society... We look forward to a disreputable, vigorous, unhonoured, and disorderly old age.” WritingYearsLooksPersonsLongTwoHandsAgeSongWaterWhiteWalksFireFeetHairHundredHotWinterOld AgeUselessOrganizedWheelsChairsNinetyAlcoholicsCornBeardWhiskeyVigorousBucketsOutcastBeveragesHot WaterWhite HairRibald Author:Don Marquis
“We thought that using rap would draw a parallel with the protest music from the 60s and 70s that we found through the research for animadoc.

“My two young producers, Fernando Perdomo and Chris Price, had to explain to me that there's a division right now between the two sides. They took three living, breathing percussionists to do the beats on the song "Intensity". We've got all kinds of layers, because I kept saying we didn't get all the beats. If you hear a synth, it's because I put my foot down.
