“We cannot excuse you | for your behaviour, | the great China, | the divine empire, | has fallen into dishonour. | Politicians kill the monks, | refusing to listen and to reason. | Keep your hands off Tibet now.”

“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)”

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

“No Time No Space, | another race of vibrations, | the sea of the simulation, | keep your feelings in memories, | I love you especially tonight.”

Franco Battiato (1945) musicista, cantautore e regista italiano

“It is for this reason that art, true art, the one that comes from the soul, is so important in our lives. Art consoles us, it lifts us and directs us. Art cures us. We are not only that which we eat and the air that we breathe. We are also the stories we have heard, the tales we fell asleep listening to when we were children, the books we have read, the music we heard and the emotions that a painting, a statue, or a poem have given us.

L'arte, quella vera, quella che viene dall'anima, è così importante nella nostra vita. L'arte ci consola, ci solleva, l'arte ci orienta. L'arte ci cura. Noi non siamo solo quello che mangiamo e l'aria che respiriamo. Siamo anche le storie che abbiamo sentito, le favole con cui ci hanno addormentato da bambini, i libri che abbiamo letto, la musica che abbiamo ascoltato e le emozioni che un quadro, una statua, una poesia ci hanno dato.

(La fine è il Mio Inizio)”

“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)”

“Adesso vi devo dire qualcosa di molto importante, è difficile essere un vero Manowar. I nemici del vero metal in passato hanno cercato di eliminarci in ogni modo. Credetemi, questa è la verità. Devo dire qualcosa a quei bastard, devo dirlo ora. You, fuck you, fuck off, fuck yourself e morte die. Come on, come on, come on. Noi, non vi abbandoneremo mai. Messieurs all togheter, we come back to Italy for the Monsters of Rock. Will you be there? Will you be there? Are you with us? Fuck the world, hail to Italy.”

Joey DeMaio (1954) bassista statunitense

“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.

“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.

“If you must tell them your dream, tell them the unecessary details too. They must have a feel of the enthusiasm in it. Otherwise they won't take you seriously.”
