I think i'm really part of a whole generational movement in a way. i think a lot of other people since and during this time have gotten interested in writing what we can still call experimental music. it's not commercial music. and it's really a concert music, but a concert music for our time. and wanting to find the audience, because we've discovered the audience is really there. those became really clear with einstein on the beach.

The repressed memory is like a noisy intruder being thrown out of the concert hall. you can throw him out, but he will bang on the door and continue to disturb the concert. the analyst opens the door and says, if you promise to behave yourself, you can come back in.

You have plenty of liberals out there who are all for the cops raiding their political enemies, they're all for the cops doing whatever they have to do to get whatever goods they want on their political enemies. and yet the patriot act comes, oh, you can't do it, it's an invasion of privacy. and yet in some cases they don't care about other people's privacy. privacy is irrelevant to them depending on what the target is.
Political Enemy Care
...a condemned man who, at the hour of death, says or thinks that if the alternative were offered him of existing somewhere, on a height of rock or some narrow elevation, where only his two feet could stand, and round about him the ocean, perpetual gloom, perpetual solitude, perpetual storm, to remain there standing on a yard of surface for a lifetime, a thousand years, eternity! - rather would he live thus than die at once? only live, live, live! - no matter how, only live!
Ocean Men Thinking
A child born today will grow up with no conception of privacy at all. they'll never know what it means to have a private moment to themselves an unrecorded, unanalysed thought. and that's a problem because privacy matters, privacy is what allows us to determine who we are and who we want to be.

Children have a lesson adults should learn, to not be ashamed of failing, but to get up and try again. most of us adults are so afraid, so cautious, so 'safe,' and therefore so shrinking and rigid and afraid that it is why so many humans fail. most middle-aged adults have resigned themselves to failure.
Children Fear Trying
You pass by a little child, you pass by, spiteful, with ugly words, with wrathful heart; you may not have noticed the child, but he has seen you, and your image, unseemly and ignoble, may remain in his defenseless heart. you don't know it, but you may have sown an evil seed in him and it may grow, and all because you were not careful before the child, because you did not foster in yourself a careful, actively benevolent love.
