Yr Quotes

The ultimate check against government tyranny is an informed electorate who will elect people who believe in limited government. I don’t want to embrace the idea we want people to take to the streets with guns. I want people to go to the voting booth and check an out of control government by electing conservatives Picture Quote #1

I think what you have to do is have a box office success in every genre and then you’re set for life. And fortunately, I happened to do that, so I get a myriad of offers of various sorts Picture Quote #1

We ought to be very cautious in the prosecution of magic and heresy. The attempt to put down these two crimes may be extremely perilous to liberty, and may be the origin of a number of petty acts of tyranny if the legislator be not on his guard; for as such an accusation does not bear directly on the overt acts of a citizen, but refers to the idea we entertain of his character Picture Quote #1

Degeneracy follows every autocratic system of violence, for violence inevitably attracts moral inferiors. Time has proven that illustrious tyrants are succeeded by scoundrels Picture Quote #1

A husband and wife ought to continue united so long as they love each other. Any law which should bind them to cohabitation for one moment after the decay of their affection would be a most intolerable tyranny, and the most unworthy of toleration Picture Quote #1

One reproduces only that which is striking; that is to say, the necessary. Thus, one’s recollections and inventions are liberated from the tyranny which nature exerts Picture Quote #1

The women’s movement is filled with tyrants, just as men’s political movements are equally filled Picture Quote #1

As artists and professionals, it is our obligation to enact our own internal revolution, a private insurrection inside our own skulls. In this uprising we free ourselves from the tyranny of consumer culture Picture Quote #1

If you want a war, nourish a doctrine. Doctrines are the most frightful tyrants to which men are ever subject, because doctrines get inside a man’s reason and betray him against himself. Civilized men have done their fiercest fighting for doctrines Picture Quote #1

Mass production is nothing new. Weren’t cathedrals built through mass production? The pyramids?... Paintings can be painted with the left hand, the right hand, someone else’s hand, or many people’s hands. The scale of production is irrelevant to its content Picture Quote #1

There is a great temptation with songs, melodies and lyrics to overcomplicate them but in fact, you find that the most enduring melodies are often the simplest Picture Quote #1

Sometimes... we suffer from the tyranny of comparison. Contests, competitions, thrive on it. Who cares? Picture Quote #1

The healing of the world is in its nameless saints. Each separate star seems nothing, but a myriad scattered stars break up the night and make it beautiful Picture Quote #1

Some boast of being friends to government; I am a friend to righteous government, to a government founded upon the principles of reason and justice; but I glory in publicly avowing my eternal enmity to tyranny Picture Quote #1

Even when you make a tax form out on the level, you don’t know when it’s through if you are a crook or a martyr Picture Quote #1

The only tyrannies from which men, women and children are suffering in real life are the tyrannies of minorities Picture Quote #1

In a state of tranquility, wealth, and luxury, our descendants would forget the arts of war and the noble activity and zeal which made their ancestors invincible. Every art of corruption would be employed to loosen the bond of union which renders our resistance formidable. When the spirit of liberty which now animates our hearts and gives success to our arms is extinct, our numbers will accelerate our ruin and render us easier victims to tyranny Picture Quote #1

I feel like I’m still learning a lot with writing lyrics. In the beginning, like the first record, I wasn’t so aware Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

I try to write in a way where the lyrics have many meanings and you won’t really know what’s behind it Picture Quote #1

I’m as good as anybody out there lyrically and conceptually and can go toe to toe with the best of them throughout history Picture Quote #1

I stared out the window the whole way, because it was raining, which is how I like the city best. It looks like it’s been polished up. All the streets shine and lights from everywhere reflect off the black. It’s like the whole place has been dipped in sugar syrup. Like the city is some kind of big candy apple Picture Quote #1

Date syrup is a natural sweetener that has wonderful richness and treacly depth; I drizzle it over semolina porridge Picture Quote #1

Throughout the history of mankind there have been murderers and tyrants; and while it may seem momentarily that they have the upper hand, they have always fallen. Always Picture Quote #1

What use do I put my soul to? It is a serviceable question this, and should frequently be put to oneself. How does my ruling part stand affected? And whose soul have I now? That of a child, or a young man, or a feeble woman, or of a tyrant, of cattle or wild beasts Picture Quote #1

The things... which are proper to the understanding no other man is used to impede, for neither fire, nor iron, nor tyrant, nor abuse, touches it in any way. When it has been made a sphere, it continues a sphere Picture Quote #1

Tyranny has no need of arts or sciences, for its policy, which is very shallow and without any refinement, only consists in shedding blood Picture Quote #1

E? loquence quipersuade par douceur, non par empire, en tyran, non en roi. Eloquence should persuade gently, not by force or like a tyrant or king Picture Quote #1

The homosexual is a scapegoat who evokes no sympathy. Hence, he can only be a victim, never a martyr Picture Quote #1

15, 16, I mean, 17, 18, is when I was really getting into the hip hop phase and really studying the things that I needed to study as far as learning about flows and learning about lyrics Picture Quote #1

I tend to write poetry that is rich in data of various sorts. The lyric poem isn’t perfectly suited to accommodating such data, so I’ve had to find new ways to say everything that I want to say Picture Quote #1
