As a young man, every bone in my body wanted to pick up a machine gun and kill Germans. And yet I had absolutely no reason to do so. Certainly nobody invited me to do the job. But that's what I felt that I was trained to do. Now no part of my upbringing was militaristic.

Pete Townshend

The facts don't always reveal the truth, but the truth always reveals the facts.

Even as age humbles me it feeds my arrogance. There is still nothing that interests me as much as myself.

I don't need to fight / To prove I'm right / I don't need to be forgiven

Nothing else in nature behaves so consistently and rigidly as a human being in pursuit of hell.

The circling horse was an oblique warning that i would repeat the same mistake eternally. Would the law of averages allow it? Can anything continue without change? Nothing else in nature behaves so consistently and rigidly as a human being in pursuit of hell.

People try to put us down (Talkin' 'bout my generation) Just because we get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation) Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation) Hope I die before I get old.
