Ones sound is found by playing, ones song by singing, ones words can only be read if they are written; ones way, however, can only be found by questioning. -Jake
A piece can be read, played or seen over and over again, it lasts forever. Creating a piece is once in a lifetime... -Jake

I'd like to meet:
As in that special someone: Someone who loves life, I mean really loves it and realizes that every moment is special because you are alive, as is everything surrounding you. Someone who loves learning, and understands that developing and understanding yourself is a never ending process, learning is a never ending process and living is a process that you have to do right now... because it's limited. (Well, in this body) Also, someone who understands love and friendship and that it is unique, earth shattering and can fill your life with joy that is unsurpassable and most importantly that it exists. Someone without anger, it's possible... There is never a reason for anger, never a reason for violence... It is very easy to control your emotions if you just love every being(which is a bit harder feat) The outdoors have to be engrained in this person, as they are the real world... The things you own or where you live is all material and part of a man made world... Once you let all worldly desires go... You can truly love the world. These are all things that I believe in with all my heart, and fairytale love exists... I know because I had and still do inside me.As friends: (Which really should come first, since it comes before love, or does love come before friendship?) Real people... Who know who they are. Who understand their monumentally small place in this world. Who have found the other things in their life like music taste, religion or way in their lives themselves and realize that finding out who you are is a never ending process, you just progress...everyday.

America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between-
Oscar Wilde
America isn't as free as it thinks it is
Knowledge is a deadly friend when no-one sets the rules. The fate of all mankind, I see, is in the hands of fools.

Love is insanity, dreams are insanity, romantic tragedy is insanity...those who write them, live them and say them are seen as insane...but we all take pleasure in watching, reading and seeing these things, people just choose to pretend...that they are not insane with emotion. I however am proud -Jake
I cannot teach you violence, as I do not myself believe in it. I can only teach you not to bow your heads before any one even at the cost of your life.
Mahatma Gandhi
Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.
Friedrich Nietzsche, The Antichrist, section 16
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

Mahatma Gandhi
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad.
Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science, section 130
Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.
Mahatma Gandhi
You must be the change you want to see in the world.

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
Mahatma Gandhi
Insist on yourself; never imitate... Every great man is unique.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am not young enough to know everything.
