A fire has risen above my tombstone hat.
I don't want learning, or dignity, or respectability.
I want this music and this dawn and the warmth of your cheek against mine.

"To achieve respectability, to be admitted to the debate, they must accept without question or inquiry the fundamental doctrine that the state is benevolent, governed by the loftiest intentions, adopting a defensive stance, not an actor in world affairs but only reacting to the crimes of others...If even the harshest of critics tacitly adopt these premises, then the ordinary person may ask, who am I to disagree?"
Noam Chomsky
