For the Animals
"More than anything, I regret my restraint, because whatever damage we did to those businesses, if those farms were left standing, and if one animal was left behind, then it wasn't enough.
I don't wish to validate this proceeding by begging for mercy or appealing to the conscience of the court, because I know if this system had a conscience I would not be here, and in my place would be all the butchers, vivisectors, and fur farmers of the world.
Just as I will remain unbowed before this court- who would see me imprisoned for an act of conscience- I will also deny the fur farmers in the room the pleasure of seeing me bow down before them. To those people here whose sheds I may have visited in 1997, let me tell you directly for the first time, it was a pleasure to raid your farms, and to free those animals you held captive. It is to those animals I answer to, not you or this court. I will forever mark those nights on your property as the most rewarding experience of my life.
And to those farmers or other savages who may read my words in the future and smile at my fate, just remember: We have put more of you in bankruptcy than you have put liberators in prison. Don't forget that.
Let me thank everyone in the courtroom who came to support me today. It is my last wish before prison that each of you drive to a nearby fur farm tonight, tear down its fence and open every cage.
That's all."

O que me faz triste, me faz feliz. Mas nao vamos generalizar.
Muitas pessoas passam pela nossa vida. Elas sao todas passageiras, como nos mesmos. Algumas passam por apenas um dia, outras por um ano, outras ficam mais tempo. Elas passam por nos por uma razao, por um proposito, nunca apenas por passar simplesmente. Por essa razao, nunca devemos sentir apenas melancolia quando alguem querido vai embora ou se distancia de nos por algum motivo, e sentir-se tambem agradecido e feliz por ela ter lhe feito bem. As pessoas devem aprender a ver o mundo de um outro ponto de vista sempre, porque as pessoas se vao fisicamente, mas voce aprende a deixar elas sempre marcadas dentro de voce, se tornando voce em alguma forma de transcendencia. As vezes so o fato da memoria do que eu vivi me conforta, me faz lembrar que eu ainda sou aquilo que vivi. Conheci esse cara em uma feira de livros que estava na cidade por mais apenas uma noite. Passamos a noite juntos em uma festa fingindo ser amigos judeus poloneses de longa data, e tomamos vinho tinto falando sobre nossos pontos de vista em comum ou nao sobre a vida. Ele salvou a minha noite e foi como se tivessemos passado uma semana inteira juntos. Ele foi embora, eu fiquei. E deixamos um pouquinho um do outro, no outro. Um amigo para sempre que me fez um pouco mais feliz.
Tom Waits
"Don't go to church on Sunday
Don't get on my knees to pray.
Don't memorize the books of the Bible
I got my own special way
Bit I know Jesus loves me
Maybe just a little bit more
I fall on my knees every Sunday
At Zerelda Lee's candy store
Well it's got to be a chocolate JesusM
ake me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied
Well I don't want no Anna Zabba
Don't want no Almond Joy
There ain't nothing better
Suitable for this boy
Well it's the only thing
That can pick me up
Better than a cup of gold
See only a chocolate Jesus
Can satisfy my soul
When the weather gets rough
And it's whiskey in the shade
It's best to wrap your savior
Up in cellophane
He flows like the big muddyBut that's ok
Pour him over ice cream
For a nice parfait
Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me
Got to be a chocolate JesusGood enough for me
Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied"

B.K.G
Ele eh o tipo de cara que eh sensivel, apaixonado. Ele eh do tipo medroso, nada corajoso. Mas eh capaz de topar qualquer coisa. Nao importa a onde esteja, ou com quem esteja, o seu refugio eh sempre fazer alguma coisa. Seu refugio sao as outras coisas, as outras pessoas, eh se concentrar no que o destrai do presente e dele mesmo. Ele esta sempre ativo. Enquanto as pessoas dancam, ele escolhe a proxima musica que vai tocar. Enquanto as pessoas bebem vodka e conversam sobre o deserto na British Colombia, ele prepara salada. Eu nunca sei ao certo se ele observa o que acontece ao seu redor,mas ele eh inteligente o suficiente para isso. Se eu finjo nao ligar, ele finge nao perceber. Eu fico ali com todo mundo ou com ninguem, mas nunca com ele. Mas ele ao certo, esta com todo mundo, e ao mesmo tempo, com ninguem. Quando vou embora ele pede para eu ficar. Mas eu vou embora mesmo assim, sem nem mesmo olhar para tras e sem nem ele mesmo notar o quanto eu queria ficar...

Fear
Hesitar o que se preve, por nao ter previsto antes o que sentiu e o que pode vir a sentir. O que viveu e o que nao se sabe que esta por vir. Medo de se deixar levar o que o magoou e de deixar entrar sabe-se-la-o-que. Nao falo por mim, apenas suponho porque a gente nessa vida nunca sabe, apenas sente.

Palavras de Miller
"As coisas simples não possuem mais efeito no mundo. O diálogo e o cotidiano parecem ditados pelos meios de comunicação em massa. O dinheiro impede a vontade de experimentar a vida sem pudor. Tudo acaba parecido e sem cor. Todos querem ganhar dinheiro para fazer algo com ele, e a vida se restringe a isso. Vivemos dos reflexos na superfície desse mar q ninguém ousa mergulhar. As palavras tornam-se mudas então e somente os olhares guardam um resquísio de natureza real. A vida costumava funcionar como folhas em branco, onde o tempo era apenas a quantidade de tinta. Agora ela é apenas um formulário onde marcamos um X depois do outro e então morremos. Eu prefiro perseguir a vida infinita como música: uma vez tocada continua soando eternamente, basta a força de poder ouvi-lá. As realizações do homem nunca serão mais belas que o céu no fim do dia, e nenhum bem material substiruirá os gestos humanos mais simples. Neste ponto o homem vê que também ele é natural como o resto do planeta e também neste ponto eu fico... sentado num monte de pedras, desafiando o vento assobiando, observando minhas plantas crescerem e desejando que as pessoas também cresçam e sejamos todos felizes."

Humano, demasiado humano
I wonder what life is, what it is made of. And you know what? They are only made of memories. They are made of hopes, desires and dreams. But what is suppose to be real, are your memories. The memories of every little thing that you have done, of each people you've met, the places you've been, the books you have read, the music you have listened to, the films, pictures and paints that you have seen, and above all, feelings. Humans are in a constant change... everyday we are a different person, everyday we experience something new, everyday we think differently, everyday we grow as humans, everyday we lose and we find ourselves. I believe that a human lifetime is just too little to find out who we really are, if only we could live for two hundred years we would be suprised with what we could become...if only we had more time. If only we could be free and didn't think so much about making money, raising kids, paying our bills, buying new shoes how much more we would see, how much more we would become!
