from Bill Kushner, 'Civilization'
You talk to me, I listen. I
talk to you, you listen. Is
this like civilization or
what? We watch our hands,
fingers knotting, twisting, for
something hidden.

Alfred de Musset, on seeing George Sand long after their love affair ended:
My heart, still full of her,
Traveled over her face, and found her there no more . . .
I thought to myself that a woman unknown
Had adopted by chance that voice and those eyes
And I let the chilly statue pass
Looking at the skies
Traveled over her face, and found her there no more . . .
I thought to myself that a woman unknown
Had adopted by chance that voice and those eyes
And I let the chilly statue pass
Looking at the skies

But the new religion, that of unlimited spiritual freedom—
whose dawn is now visible, whose banner bears the sacred
inscription, Equality, Liberty, Fraternity, —will also find a
befitting secular mode of expression. It will bring in its train
corresponding institutions and social forms. It will assume
the outward form of a republic such as the world has never
yet seen. “A republic without helots;” without poor; without
classes; without hereditary hewers of wood and drawers of
water; without slaves, whether chattel or wages slaves. “For
if I treat all men as divine, how can there be for me such a
thing as a slave?” A society, such indeed as the world has
never yet seen, —not only of free men, but of free women; a
society of equally holy, equally blessed gods. [Helen Macfarlane, ‘Signs of the
Times, Red Stockings versus Lawn-Sleeves’, Friend of the
People, December 21 and 26, 1850]
ESSENTIAL homemade 12 x CD-R (!) compilation of punk bands fronted by female vocalists from 1977 to 1989, with stuff ranging from world famous Blondie or Crass to the most obscure Eastern European cassette compilation veterans. The boxset came packaged in a handnumbered fancy translucent lunchbox enclosing all 12 CD-Rs, a stack of full-colored cards featuring comprehensive tracklist and artwork/info, as well as a manga pin-up figure!

Hendrix
“Atmospheres
are going to come through music because music is in a spiritual thing
of its own. It's like the waves of the ocean. You can't just cut out
the perfect wave and take it home with you. It's constantly moving
all the time. It is the biggest thing electrifying the earth. Music
and motion are all part of the race of man.” Jimi Hendrix, Life
Magazine, October 3, 1969

"When you get cornered, boxed in, with nowhere to go, and your people are attacked ... you resist... They take your land, your traditional ways, and then they want to start education their way, and all that is a continuation of their system. It's hard to be an Indian. They embargo your people, your ways, your nationhood. I had to expose this system that is used to destroy us, what is why I talked to the U.N., because we are a nation ... They say "we acquired the land, we conquered this land, but we, the Sioux nation were never conquered. We will take our sovereignty ... " - Grass-man, (pseudonym) 1993. interview given at the "Indigenous Voices and Genocide Meetings" in Chicago, 10/24/93. (Traditional and modern Lakota and Dakota "Sioux Indians" from Standing Rock continue to use one phrase which represents their cultural mosaic, -- "o-Mitakuye Oyasin"-- which means "we are all related" -- demonstrating the respect for all of one's relations that make up identity.) http://jwsr.pitt.edu/ojs/index.php/jwsr/article/viewFile/110/122
