It was the rule to count to ten if instinct wasn't needed, but common sense was. ~Melina Marchetta

It's easy for us to go to certain places, so I'm not surprised that a lot of people were amused by my songwriting style. ~Frank Black

Sometimes, while looking for and respecting opposition, we can't recognize it, ~Marek Siwiec
