Her head is full of bubbles, her nose is petite, she looks like she never gets nothing to eat.
Hey ugly folks, go get some cyanide and die.
Tosses her head and flips her hair, she got a whole bunch of nothing in there.
Music is the most physically inspiring of all the arts.
If classical music is the state of the art, then the arts are in a sad state.
Believe it or not, there are places in the world where music is important. There are places in the world where all the arts are a matter of national pride.
The manner in which Americans ''consume'' music has a lot to do with leaving it on their coffee tables, or using it as wallpaper for their lifestyles, like the score of a movie --it's consumed that way without any regard for how and why it's made.
Modern music is people who can't think signing artists who can't write songs to make records for people who can't hear.
Science is moving closer to weaponry, and Art is moving closer to commercialism. And never the twain shall meet.
The most important thing in art is The Frame. For painting: literally; for other arts: figuratively - because without this humble appliance, you can't know where The Art stops and The Real World begins.

I believe that people have a right to decide their own destiny; people own themselves. I also believe that, in a democracy, government exists because (and only as long as) individual citizens give it a "temporary license to exist" - in exchange for a promise that it will behave itself. In a democracy you own the government - it doesn't own you. Along with this comes a responsibility to ensure that individual actions, in the pursuit of a personal destiny, do not threaten the well-being of others while the "pursuit" is in progress.
