I do the job and you pay me what it's worth. Steve Albini

song baby father
My pacifism came after I joined the army and was shipped over to Korea. There was a little one-room orphanage there called Song-do. There were 180 babies in there, and they were GI babies.

Some of those kids, when they were old enough, would go out and shine shoes. They would show up at the gate of our compound to shine shoes, and you'd swear they were looking for their fathers.

Time is an enormous, long river, and I’m standing in it, just as you’re standing in it.

I can reach down into that river and take out what I need to get through this world
