LIFE

If you should go skating,
On the thin ice of modern life,
Dragging behind you the silent reproach,
Of a million tear-stained eyes,
Dont be surprised when a crack in the ice,
Appears under your feet.
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind,
With your fear flowing out from behind,
You as you claw the ice.
- Roger Wates, "The Thin Ice"

Nothing affects the environment of a child so much as the unlived life of a parent.

Can't pretend that growing older never hurts.
- Pete Townshend, "Slit Skirts"

No one in the world ever gets what they want and that is beautiful
Everybody dies frustrated and sad and that is beautiful
They want what they're not and I wish they would stop saying,
Deputy dog dog a ding dang depadepa
Deputy dog dog a ding dang depadepa
- They Might Be Giants, "Don't Let's Start"

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.
- Kris Kristofferson, "Me and Bobby McGee" -

"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."
- Bob Dylan, "All Along the Watchtower" -
