    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut

    Favourite artist? I'd have thought that would mean a particular person, not bands. In the case of the former (still active people) I'd have to name, in no particular order:

    Nick Drake (alright, he's dead. But couldn't leave him out)
    Jón Þór Birgisson (Sigur Rós)
    Tom Jenkinson (Squarepusher)
    Roy Hargrove
    Nick Cave
    Efrim Menuck (Godspeed You Black Emperor, among others)
    Richard David James (Aphex Twin)
    Devin Townsend (SYL, among others)
    Lou Reed (well, saw him recently. Was impressed)
    Scott Henderson (known from Tribal Tech)
    Joseph Arthur
    Colin Meloy (The Decembrists)
    David Byrne

    Hmm. Could be a bit longer, but that's some which instantly spring to mind.

    Off the top of my head, here are just some of my favorites:

    - The Smashing Pumpkins
    - Blink-182
    - The Killers
    - Rage Against the Machine
    - Built to Spill
    - Led Zeppelin
    - Nirvana
    - Queen

    My favorites are kinda mixed up, I know. Some are just favorites since childhood that I can't get rid of (Blink-182), but for the most part I'm more into alternative music.
