“It takes a heap o’ children to make a home that’s true,
And home can be a palace grand, or just a plain, old shoe;

James Brown (1933–2006) American singer, songwriter, musician, and recording artist

“Hide until everybody goes home. Hide until everybody forgets about you. Hide until everybody dies.”

Yoko Ono (1933) Japanese artist, author, and peace activist
