“And I was paralysed, | paralysed by the fire in your eyes. | I was paralysed, | just couldn't move. (da Paralysed, n. 3)”

“Nota: 1960s, "Specific Objects," 1965, Context: A work needs only to be interesting. Most works finally have one quality. In earlier art the complexity was displayed and built the quality. In recent painting the complexity was in the format and the few main shapes, which had been made according to various interests and problems. A painting by Newman is finally no simpler than one by Cezanne. In the three-dimensional work the whole thing is made according to complex purposes, and these are not scattered but asserted by one form. It isn't necessary for a work to have a lot of things to look at, to compare, to analyze one by one, to contemplate. The thing as a whole, its quality as a whole, is what is interesting. The main things are alone and are more intense, clear and powerful. p. 77.

“I was in my car, | watching for the bend, | I was looking for you. | Dal balcone ammiravo il vuoto, | che ogni tanto un passante riempiva… | è stato solo un presentimento.”

“Ain't it strange, when I appear you run for cover? | And, when I look into your eyes, what do I see? | Have our love dreams flown away from one another? | Darling, don't stop loving me. | No, I never meant to full your dreams with heartaches, | or to send your true love crashing to the floor. | But, sometimes, thing just work out real crazy. | Oh baby, don't you love me anymore? | Don't you love me? | Don't you love me anymore? (da Black and Blue, n. 4)”

“I was a fool tonight. | Ooh, I should've seen the light, | 'cause you were too young to be loved. | I should've turned away | though you were begging me to stay, | 'cause you were too young to be loved. (da Too Young to Love, n. 2)”

“There's no reason for you to love me | after all of the heartaches we've been through. | But I love you, I just can't help it. | You're so beautiful, what else shall I do? | You say you didn't make me love you | and you tell me that you're not to blame. | But it still hurt me the same. | Darling, love is not a game. | 'Cause it hurts, oh. | It hurts, yeah. (da It Hurts, n. 3)”

Greg Lake (1947–2016) chitarrista, bassista e cantante britannico

“True love's the gift which God has given To man alone beneath the heaven: It is not fantasy's hot fire, Whose wishes, soon as granted, fly; It liveth not in fierce desire, With dead desire it doth not die; It is the secret sympathy, The silver link, the silken tie, Which heart to heart, and mind to mind In body and in soul can bind.
