Kurtis Blow - If I Ruled The World (Instrumental Version)

In the land of the blind the fun-eyed man is key http://youtube.com/funpov : If something is to be changed in the world, it’ll only happen through music (Hendrix) How can one be an artist and not reflect the times? (Simone) Don't use the phone. They're never ready to answer it. Use poetry (Kerouac) I see little of more importance to the future of this country, and our civilization, than the full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free, to follow their vision wherever it takes them (Kennedy) The world you see is just a movie in your mind(Kerouac) Art cannot be proper. Art must be exaggerated. Bend down until your spine cracks! (Szukalski) To finish a work? What nonsense! To finish it means to be through with it, to kill it, to rid it of its spirit, to give it its final blow the coup de grace for the artist as well as for the art(Picasso) A human can do as he wills, but not will as he wills (Schopenhauer) We cannot change anything until we accept it (Jung) You don't get to hate it unless you love it (Fails) Sometimes they tell lies and put them in a truthful disguise (Scott-Heron) CHAPTER V. PRONOUNCED INSANE (Bly) Paintings have to be painted fast (van Gogh) I won't quit to become someone's old lady (Joplin) You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven (Hendrix) I want exactly what you want. I simply want to be left alone to raise my children in peace and arrive at my own maturity in my own way (Baldwin) Keep the nerve, keep the nerve, keep the nerve (Scott-Heron) The position of the artist... is essentially a channel (Mondrian) The more personal is the more creative (Scorsese) Your story is your power (M. Obama) The truth does not change, and that is why the answers worked out long ago can help you find solutions to the challenges of our time (Lewis) Stick to what you love doing, and do it crazier (Marconi)  The solution to poverty is to abolish it directly by a now widely discussed measure: the guaranteed income (King Jr) Words cut deeper than knives. A knife can be pulled out, words are embedded into our souls (Chapman) I could never see any value or anything to be sought after... except fun! (Joplin) Imperfection is beauty (Monroe) Weakness is a great thing. Strength is nothing. That which has hardened will never win (Tarkovsky) Kindness, kindness, kindness. I want to make a New year's prayer, not a resolution. I'm praying for courage (Sontag) The more personal is the more creative (Scorsese) The limits of my language mean the limits of my world (Wittgenstein) I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects/ projects the solitude/ privacy of the other (Rilke) I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves -- this critical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty. The ideals that have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. Without the sense of kinship with men of like mind, without the occupation with the objective world, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific endeavors, life would have seemed empty to me. The trite objects of human efforts -- possessions, outward success, luxury -- have always seemed to me incompatible(Einstein) To make living itself an art, that is the goal (Henry Miller) add Hdt and Proust l8r Funpov@gmail.com
