TOM GABEL LYRICS
Conceptual paths wide open, I'm scared to death
Existential weight no longer holds you back
Conceptual paths wide open, I'm scared to death
I'm ready for the future, I'm ready for what happens next

Abstract illusions of a free mind
You don't owe anything to anyone
You don't owe anything to anyone

"in the sixties, apartheid was driven out of America. We didn't end racism, but we ended legal segregation. We ended the idea that you can send a million soldiers ten thousand miles away to fight in a war that people do not support. We ended the idea that women are second-class citizens. Now, it doesn't matter which politician holds office. But the big battles that were won in that period of civil war and strife you cannot reverse. We were young, we were reckless, arrogant, silly, headstrong...and we were right.
"

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.






Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.






All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant's revolving door.






I know of only one duty, and that is to love.






Truly fertile music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a music conducive to dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason.



--all from Alfred Camus
 

Oh, I love Albert Camus.  Great quote choices Kendra!
