"Be not afraid of enemies; the worst they can do is to kill you. Do not be afraid of friends; the worst they can do is betray you. Be afraid of the indifferent; they do not kill or betray. But only because of their silent agreement, betrayal and murder exist on earth."

"it's just the law governing western politics pure blind greed - economics is an unquestionable sacred law above all humane considerations (is this just me), it is a justification for slave labour, genocide, environmental and spiritual destruction. everyone wants their cheap sneakers and bloody stupid keyrings and plasticware above all else, and are happy to leave china unchecked, happy to condone their blatant violation of human rights. after all how can we justify our cathedral-like shopping malls and rusting capitalist monoliths, other than fiinding the next oppressed population and get them on the payroll? "thankyou tesco thankyou tesco." all our hands are dirty."

Thom Yorke, Talking about Tibet

"I like a big bowl of smack for breakfast. Big crack pies too. I like morphine, I like David Lynch. I like defacing dolls. I like wearing ripped dresses and make up. I love turning crosses upside down and setting fire to them and I'm going to top myself ANY DAY NOW."

"Today we frankly recognise that democracy can be no more than aspiration, and have rule not so much by the people as by the cleverest people; not an aristocracy of birth, not a plutocracy of birth, but a true meritocracy of talent."

Michael Young, The Rise of Meritocracy
