“Reading is more of a left-brain process, and listening to music is a right-brain function. And the right-brain function is far more emotional and has softer edges, so when you first hear the album, you should hear it and feel it. When you start ‘reading’ it, then you’re thinking it, and you rob yourself of that initial impression of how the sounds affect you. You know, if the Mona Lisa had ‘Eat At Joe’s’ in the corner, that’s all you would remember.”
-Maynard James Keenan

about what we pretend to be.”

“If there's a thing, a scene, maybe, an image that you want to see real bad, that you need to see but it doesn't exist in the world around you, at least not in the form you envision, then you create it so you can look at it and have it around, or show it to other people who wouldn't have imagined it because they perceive reality in a more shallow, predictable way. And that's it. That's all an artist does.”
-Tom Robbins, Skinny Legs and All

“First eat your eggs.”
-A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry
“Life is like a box of chocolates. Cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asked for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down because there's nothing else left to eat. Sure once in a while there's a peanut butter cup or an English toffee but they're gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts. If you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... an empty box. Filled with useless brown paper wrappers.”
-The Cigarette-Smoking Man, The X-Files
“I come in peace for all mankind. Who wants a hot dog?”
-Henry, in Stephen King's Dreamcatcher
“This is not a dream. We are using your brain's electrical system as a receiver. We are unable to transmit through conscious neural interference. You are receiving this broadcast as a dream. We are transmitting from the year one nine nine nine. You are receiving this broadcast in order to alter the events you are seeing. Our technology has not developed a transmitter strong enough to reach your conscious state of awareness. This is not a dream. What you are seeing is actually occurring for the purpose of causality...”
-Prince of Darkness, written and directed by John Carpenter
