“An idler is a watch that wants both hands;
As useless when it goes as when it stands.”

“Sleep and watchfulness, both of them, when immoderate, constitute disease.”

“Stand with anybody that stands RIGHT. Stand with him while he is right and PART with him when he goes wrong.”

“And life goes on, which seems kind of strange and cruel when you're watching someone die.”

“It is a common myth that idlers are incapable of working. The term “idler” is used as a pejorative by the forces of dullness and authority as they like the idea that idleness equates to evil, and they want society at large to despise the idler. The non-idler cannot understand the paradox of the working idler. He likes things to be simple: you are either working, or not working.”

“When everything goes to hell, the people who stand by you without flinching -- they are your family.”

“When I want to play music, you've got to get me on tape or else it goes.”

“Man goes far away or near but God never goes far-off; he is always standing close at hand, and even if he cannot stay within he goes no further than the door.”

“There are moments when you can only stand and stare, watching the world forget you as you remove yourself from it - when you overcome it and cease to exist as the person you were.”

“There is pow'r, there is pow'r
In a band of workingmen.
When they stand hand in hand,
That's a pow'r, that's a pow'r
That must rule in every land —
One Industrial Union Grand.”
