Don't tell me that I won't I can Don't tell me that I'm not I am Don't tell me that my master plan Ain't coming through
Don't tell me that I won't I will Don't tell me how to think I feel Don't tell me cause I know what's real What I can do
David Foster Wallace:
The really important kind of freedom involves attention, and awareness, and discipline, and effort, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them, over and over, in myriad petty little unsexy ways, every day. That is real freedom. The alternative is unconsciousness, the default-setting, the "rat race" -- the constant gnawing sense of having had and lost some infinite thing.
Steve Albini:
It was a lot to think about. Well, they like this guy and they trust him. Besides, they already signed the deal memo. He must have been serious about wanting them to sign. They break the news to their current label, and the label manager says he wants them to succeed, so they have his blessing. He will need to be compensated, of course, for the remaining albums left on their contract, but he'll work it out with the label himself.
Paul Graham:
Adults lie constantly to kids. I'm not saying we should stop, but I think we should at least examine which lies we tell and why.
It will always suck to work for large organizations, and the larger the organization, the more it will suck.
