“The misfortune is that although everyone must come to death, each experiences the adventure in solitude.”

“The phrase, “the world wants to be deceived”, has become truer than had ever been intended. People are not only, as the saying goes, falling for the swindle; if it guarantees them even the most fleeting gratification they desire a deception which is nonetheless transparent to them. They force their eyes shut and voice approval, in a kind of self-loathing, for what is meted out to them, knowing fully the purpose for which it is manufactured. Without admitting it they sense that their lives would be completely intolerable as soon as they no longer clung to satisfactions which are none at all.”

— Theodor W. Adorno, “Culture Industry Reconsidered”

“Let us decide not to imitate Europe and let us tense our muscles and our brains in a new direction. Let us endeavor to invent a man in full, something which Europe has been incapable of achieving.”

— Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth

"A system of values is never a homogeneous code of abstract principles obeyed by all the participants in a given culture and able to be extracted from an informant with the aid of a set of hypothetical questions, but a collection of concepts which are related to one another and applied differentially by the different status groups defined by age, sex, class, occupation, etc. in the different social . . . contexts in which they find their meaning." 

J. Pitt Rivers

Enya: "When we came to ‘Cursum Perficio’, we wanted to leave the voices bold and up-front, as in a choral piece. We knew we couldn’t really adapt the Gaelic or the English, and we knew it would work well with the Latin. Actually, we really don’t mind what language it’s in, as long as it complements the music."

Enya: "The sound was more important than the text. The choir is important. (..) ‘Cursum Perficio’ comes from a documentary about Marilyn Monroe. It means ‘Here ends my journey’ and that saying was engraved in the entrance of her last house. But that’s how it often happens. Those two words haunted me for weeks and than I finally used them in a song."

“I am attracted by unconventionality. I don’t really want to become normal, average, standard. I want merely to gain in strength, in the courage to live out my life more fully, enjoy more, experience more. I want to develop even more original and more unconventional traits.”

— Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 1: 1931-1934
