    Russell Brand
    I regret that I didn’t realize that actually they’ve got no power over you at school — it’s all just a trick to indoctrinate you into being a conditioned, tame, placid citizen. Rebel, children, I urge you, fight the turgid slick of conformity with which they seek to smother your glory.
    Russell Brand, My Booky Wook

    Anne Spollen
    I looked around at the rooms that I did not see as rooms but more as a landscape for my emotions, a biography of memory.
