“I perceived that I was on a little round grain of rock and metal, filmed with water and with air, whirling in sunlight and darkness. And on the skin of that little grain all the swarms of men, generation by generation, had lived in labour and blindness, with intermittent joy and intermittent lucidity of spirit. And all their history, with its folk-wanderings, its empires, its philosophies, its proud sciences, its social revolutions, its increasing hunger for community, was but a flicker in one day of the lives of the stars.” MenLittlesPhilosophyJoySpiritSocialStarsWaterCommunityDarknessGenerationsAirRocksRevolutionProudOne DaySkinsRoundsHungerFolksWanderEmpiresLabourMetalsGrainSunlightBlindnessLight And DarknessLight And DarkFlickerSwarmsLuciditySocial RevolutionOlafIntermittent Book:To the End of Time Source: To the End of Time
“There was a cinema called The Orient outside the community centre where we rehearsed in Six Ways, and whenever it showed a horror film the queue would go all the way down the street and around the corner. 'Isn't it strange how people will pay money to frighten themselves?' I remember Tony [Iommi] saying one day. 'Maybe we should stop doing blues and write scary music instead.'” PeopleWayShouldWritingRememberFilmCommunityPayStreetsStrangeHorrorOne DaySixCornersScaryCinemaCentreHorror FilmAround The CornerQueues Author:Ozzy Osbourne
“Look at the Metropolitan Community Church today, the gay church, almost accepted into the World Council of Churches. Almost, the vote was against them. But they will try again and again until they get in, and the tragedy is that they would get one vote. Because they are spoken of here in Jude as being brute beasts, that is going to the baser lust of the flesh to live immorally, and so Jude describes this as apostasy. But thank God this vile and satanic system will one day be utterly annihilated and there'll be a celebration in heaven.” WorldTryingLooksHumorTodayHeavenCommunityChurchReligiousGayOne DayVoteTragedyFleshAcceptedLustBeastThank GodCelebrationAgain And AgainCouncilBrutesTry AgainSatanicMetropolitanChurch TodayApostasy Author:Jerry Falwell

“When I was acting, as a hobby, I would devour popular science books and keep up-to-date about what was going on in the science community. And then, suddenly my hobby became my job.

“As a conscientious objector I did my community service in 1971 in a psychiatric hospital and a friend there, who also was a guitar player, invited me one day to join him recording film music with a band named Kraftwerk which I didn't know at the time. I came along and jammed at this session together with Ralf Hütter and a drummer (I believe his name was Charly Weiß). Florian Schneider and Klaus Dinger were present as listeners and everybody liked the spontaneous music we did together.” KnowsBelieveTogetherFilmNamesI BelieveCommunityPlayerOne DayBandGuitarHospitalsListenersSpontaneousInvitedSessionDrummerGuitar PlayerCommunity ServicePsychiatricFilm MusicConscientious ObjectorsPsychiatric Hospitals Author:Michael Rother

“The notion of the writer as a kind of sociological sample of a community is ludicrous. Even worse is the notion that writers should provide an example of how to live. Virginia Woolf ended her life by putting a rock in her sweater one day and walking into a lake. She is not a model of how I want to live my life. On the other hand, the bravery of her syntax, of her sentences, written during her deepest depression, is a kind of example for me. But I do not want to become Virginia Woolf. That is not why I read her.” WantShouldKindHandsCommunityWrittenRocksExampleWalkingOne DayModelsBraveryNotionSentencesLakesLiving My LifeVirginiaSampleSweatersSyntaxSociologicalWoolf Author:Richard Rodriguez

“There's always been what I would call the William Carlos Williams strain, in which poems of simplicity and clarity are valued by a different community.
