A part of me was like, ‘Man, do I even like doing this anymore?’ That whole thing of ‘I’m in my 30s, and I sing and write songs while people are fighting wars in Iraq.’ You know? So everything had to have more meaning, and it couldn’t just be about making money. So, I took a minute. – Maxwell
Less is always more. The best language is silence. We live in a time of a terrible inflation of words, and it is worse than the inflation of money. – Eduardo Galeano

If the big banks expect to buy influence when they give money to favored think tanks, then the public has a right to know.
