If ignorance is bliss, it can be countered; an imprisoned man ignorant of a jail cell key in reach could not be happy.

If knowledge is power, it can be countered; an imprisoned man with knowledge of the key yet knowing he cannot reach it has no power.

We can bomb the world to pieces, but we can't bomb the world to peace.
- Michael Franti, musician

Artists use lies to tell the truth while politicians use lies to cover the truth up.

The road of life has ups and downs.
Not all people make it past the bend.

If only people would open their eyes and start caring about and believing in something, anything; join together as one and realize what the world could be, should be, even if it never will be.

It's ironic how the feelings of pain and despair can be ultimately worded to create such remarkable beauty.

Regret...regret is the waves of Hell, approaching swiftly from the past to do nothing more than crash down upon you.

Life doesn't happen without change.

The rich have a debt to pay to society.

Art is resistance,
resistance without violence
art changes hearts without breaking bodies
art is action without violence
speak the truth, you will be heard
you have a voice,
how are you going to use it?

- OSR, Year Zero (NIN)
