“The experience of losing a loved one impels us toward a deeper understanding of life. Everyone fears and is saddened by death. That is natural. But by struggling to overcome the pain and sadness that accompanies death, we become sharply aware of the dignity and preciousness of life and develop the compassion to share the sufferings of others as our own.” PainSufferingUnderstandingNaturalCompassionStruggleSadnessShareLosingDignityOvercomingDeeperLoved OnesAccompanySaddenedLosing A Loved OneSuffering Of OthersDeeper Understanding Author:Daisaku Ikeda

“I didn't like university life much at Bologna. The subjects I studied - economics and business administration - didn't interest me. I wanted to make films. I was glad when I was graduated.

“I never try and force-feed any song idea or lyrical message. It's really what's on my mind and what comes out of me. And a lot of these lyrics are metaphors for specific life situations that I've been through, and in most cases, the struggles. Something about human beings wearing sadness heavily on their sleeve inspires me to make something uplifting about the situation.” TryingMindSongSituationStruggleSadnessInspireMetaphorUpliftingLyrical Author:Aaron Bruno

“So many things suddenly made sense for the clowns, for the whole idea. I’d been going through a struggle, particularly after 9/11; I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to say. I still wanted the work to be the same kind of mixture – intense, with a nasty side or an ugly side, but also with a real pathos about the characters – and clowns have an underlying sense of sadness while they’re trying to cheer people up. Clowns are sad, but they’re also psychotically, hysterically happy.” PeopleTryingKindMadeStillsIdeasRealWholeCharacterWantedSidesStruggleSadnessFiguresUglyIntenseCheerNastyClownMixturesPathos Author:Cindy Sherman
