“Don't you feel a change a coming
From another side of time,
Breaking down the walls of silence,
Lifting shadows from your mind.”

“If you fall down those stairs and break both of your legs, don't come running to me!”

Louise Rennison (1951–2016) British writer

“Intellectual truth alone will not make you free, though it is certainly a necessary preliminary. If this were the case your walls would fall away, since intellectually you understand their rather dubious nature. Since feeling is so often the cohesive with which mind builds, it is feeling itself which must be changed if you would find freedom from your particular plane of existence at your particular time.”

Jane Roberts (1929–1984) American Writer

“Sad times
May follow your tracks,
Bad times
May bar you from Saks,
Add times
When Satan in slacks
Breaks down your self control...”

Cole Porter (1891–1964) American composer and songwriter

“YLERMI: The church will fall down before / the mitten parts from the stone! / The walls will crumble before / the finger rots on the wall! / Before that, may a time come / too, another, harsher time / which will not bow down to death, / will not crawl off to Mana. // He spurred the horse, and the flames / engulfed his golden helmet. / The mitten's on the stone still.”

Eino Leino (1878–1926) Finnish poet and journalist

“Trust arises from the mind's instinctive feeling after fixed realities, after the substance of every shadow, the base of all appearance, the everlasting amid change.”

James Martineau (1805–1900) English religious philosopher

“You'll change inside when you realize
The world comes to life and everything's bright
From beginning to end when you have a friend by your side.”

Demi Lovato (1992) American singer, songwriter, actress, and author

“A fine work of art - music, dance, painting, story - has the power to silence the chatter in the mind and lift us to another place.”

Robert McKee (1941) American academic specialised in seminars for screenwriters

“Feel your hair come tumbling down
Feel your feet start kissing the ground
Feel your arms are opening out
And see your eyes are lifted to God
With no words, with no song
I'm gonna dance the dream
And make the dream come true...”

Kate Bush (1958) British recording artist; singer, songwriter, musician and record producer

“If you beat your head against the wall, it is your head that breaks and not the wall.”

Antonio Gramsci (1891–1937) Italian writer, politician, theorist, sociologist and linguist
