A Quote by Bradford Cox

We live, understandably enough, with the sense of urgency; our clock, like Baudelaire's, has had the hands removed and bears the legend, "It is later than you think."

We seem to like to condemn our finest but not our worst qualities by pitting them against the exigency of time.

I feel like the Kurt Cobain of my generation, but people just don't understand me.
People don't realise what they had till it's gone. Like President Kennedy - nobody like him. Like The Beatles, there will never be anything like them. Like my man, Elvis Presley - I was the Elvis of boxing.
