Beware of nostalgia. Most of the time, it's a great big liar.

"Some people are born beautiful...they’re like flowers. They’re nice to look at, but their beauty doesn’t impress me...{because} physical beauty comes from the luck of birth, from DNA, from genetics...Lucky for them. But it’s not impressive. Except for good grooming, you can’t do a great deal about the way you look...I’m impressed by a person who gets results from their effort, not from their natural gifts. If a person succeeds in spite of disadvantages, that’s someone to celebrate. But if a person succeeds through the luck of birth, there’s nothing impressive about it."

It may be true that no man is an island, but there is no scarcity of atolls.

The history of art, whether it’s in music or written or what have you, has always been bloody, because dictators and people in office and people who want to control and deceive know exactly the people who will disturb their plans. And those people are artists. They’re the ones who sing the truth. And that is something that society has got to protect.
