Context: You turn up your music to hide the noise. Other people turn up their music to hide yours. You turn up yours again. Everyone buys a bigger stereo system. This is the arms race of sound You don't win with a lot of treble. This isn't about quality. It's about volume. This isn't about music. This is about winning. You stomp the competition with the bass line. You rattle windows. You drop the melody line, and shout the lyrics. You put in foul language and come down hard on each cussword. You dominate. This is really about power.

“I don't know how everyone else feels, but I'm exhausted.”
Quoted September 05, 1995, on playing in his 2,130th consecutive game equaling Lou Gehrig's record; The Baseball Timeline, Burt Solomon, p. 1018

Context: I'm glad Bush is coming out so strongly against gay marriage, because I think it's time in this country for people to wake up... If your partner happens to be the same sex as you, I don't have a problem with that and I don't think anyone else should. We're not doing a service to our kids by cloistering them from reality. It's better to discuss reality.
“I don't hide my profession of pessimism and I'm an avowed partisan of reaction.”
