Modest Mouse"Well some guy comes in lookin a bit like everyone I ever seen he moves just like crisco disco breath 100% Listerine, And he says looking at someone else but directing everything to me "Anytime anyone gets on their knees and prays, Well, it makes my telephone ring!" Well, Ill be damned. He said, "You were right, no ones running this whole thing."

"And its been a long time which agrees with this watch of mine and I guess that I missed you and Im sorry if I dissed you."
"We tore one down and erected another there The match of the century: Absence Versus Thin Air"
"You are so hot, I would like to steal your digits."
"Waiting to bleed onto the big streets, That bleed out onto the highways, And off to other cities built to store and sell these rocks."
"Another rider, He was a talker, Talking bout TV, Please Shut Up!"
"As long as you keep getting born, it’s okay to die sometimes."
"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that theres free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate."
"History is a strange experience. The world is quite small now; but history is large and deep. Sometimes you can go much farther by sitting in your own home and reading a book of history, than by getting onto a ship or an airplane and traveling a thousand miles. When you go to Mexico City through space, you find it a sort of cross between modern Madrid and modern Chicago, with additions of its own; but if you go to Mexico City through history, back only 500 years, you will find it as distant as though it were on another planet: inhabited by cultivated barbarians, sensitive and cruel, highly organized and still in the Copper Age, a collection of startling, of unbelievable contrasts."
"As soon as a thought or word becomes a tool, one can dispense with actually ‘thinking’ it, that is, with going through the logical acts involved in verbal formulation of it. As has been pointed out, often and correctly, the advantage of mathematics—the model of all neo-positivistic thinking—lies in just this ‘intellectual economy.’ Complicated logical operations are carried out without actual performance of the intellectual acts upon which the mathematical and logical symbols are based. … Reason … becomes a fetish, a magic entity that is accepted rather than intellectually experienced."
"Our feminist culture at the present moment is completely dependent on capitalism. My grandmother was still scrubbing clothes on the back porch on a washboard!"
"A word of the faith that never balks, Here or henceforward it is all the same to me, I accept Time absolutely. It alone is without flaw, it alone rounds and completes all, That mystic baffling wonder alone completes all. (23)"
