1. “Long you live and high you fly. And smiles you’ll give and tears you’ll cry. And all you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be.“
2. “Ashes or diamonds foe or friend we’re all equal in the end.“
3. “Each small candle lights a corner of the dark.”
4. “This is how you control your domestic population – by making people afraid and by identifying an enemy.“
5. “There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it’s all dark.“
6. “Life is long. But it goes fast.“
7. “You take the risk of being rejected. If you have pretentions to be an artist of any kind, you have to take the risk of people rejecting you and thinking you’re an arsehole.“
8. “You run and you run to catch up to the sun but it’s sinking, racing around to come up behind you again.“
9. “What it comes down to for me is this: Will the technologies of communication in our culture, serve to enlighten us and help us to understand one another better, or will they deceive us and keep us apart?“
10. “But that’s not to say that the potential for the sun to shine doesn’t exist. You know? Walk down the path towards the light, rather than walk into the darkness.”
