“Inspiration is not the exclusive privilege of poets or artists. There is, there has been, there will always be a certain group of people whom inspiration visits. It's made up of all those who've consciously chosen their calling and do their job with love and imagination. Difficulties and setbacks never quell their curiosity. A swarm of new questions emerges from every problem that they solve. Whatever inspiration is, it's born from a continuous 'I don't know.'” PeopleKnowsHas BeensMadeProblemInspirationJobsArtistCertainBornImaginationGroupsPoetCallingDifficultyCuriosityPrivilegeSolveChosenExclusiveSetbackSwarms Author:Wislawa Szymborska
“Isn't atheism just another religion?' No, it isn't. Atheism has no creeds, rituals, holy book, absolute moral code, origin myth, sacred spaces or shrines. It has no sin, divine judgment, forbidden words, prayer, worship, prophecy, group privileges, or anointed 'holy' leaders. Atheists don't believe in a transcendent world or supernatural afterlife.

“People expect your life to change completely. The main difference is I can get work now. I can do my hobby as a job. It's great. It's a privilege. But in terms of the rest of the stuff, I still got all the same group of friends I always had. I don't do anything different. We still go to the same dirty bars and do the same things.

“In the whole history of capitalism, no one has been able to establish a coercive monopoly by means of competition in a free market...Every single coercive monopoly that exists or ever has existed...was created and made possible only by an act of government...which granted special privileges (not obtainable in a free market) to a man or a group of men, and forbade all others to enter that particular field.” MenMeanHas BeensMadeWholeGovernmentAbleGroupsSpecialFieldsParticularCapitalismCompetitionPrivilegeGrantedFree MarketMonopoly Author:Nathaniel Branden

“It is a great pleasure to be performing with a big band. Those people took part in a group that played the music from the Kino Kultura album i.e. the soundtrack music I've been doing. It is difficult to organise them all and to have those people for a certain date since they all have their own obligations and arrangements. It is a great privilege to gather all those musicians at one place, especially these that I work with, since they perform regularly abroad, at weddings or are working somewhere else.” PeopleBigsCertainDifficultPleasureGroupsBandMusicianPrivilegeAlbumsObligationPerformingArrangementsSomewhere ElseSoundtracks Author:Vlatko Stefanovski
