I edited Big Funk, some of the footage was shot by Peter Care. We were film buffs as much as music buffs, and so there are film reference as well as sound references.

Stephen Mallinder

There are three kinds of fools in this world, fools proper, educated fools and rich fools. The world persists because of the folly of these fools.

Narayanananda Swami.

A regular wind-up toy world this is, I think. Once a day the wind-up bird has to come and wind the springs of this world. Alone in this fun house, only I grow old, a pale softball of death swelling inside me. Yet even as I sleep somewhere between Saturn and Uranus, wind-up birds everywhere are busy at work fulfilling their appointed rounds.

Haruki Murakami

Imitators are a slavish herd and fools in my opinion.

Jean de La Fontaine

Books bear him up a while, and make him try to swim with bladders of philosophy.

John Wilmot

Mother loved the wind. When I was growing up, she would recite this poem to me. Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I, But when the trees bow down their heads, The wind is passing by. So it is with God.

Alice Steinbach

I must have liberty Withal, as large a charter as the wind, To blow on whom I please, for so fools have.

William Shakespeare

The Gods do not protect fools. Fools are protected by more capable fools.

Larry Niven

The duende....Where is the duende? Through the empty archway a wind of the spirit enters, blowing insistently over the heads of the dead, in search of new landscapes and unknown accents: a wind with the odour of a child's saliva, crushed grass, and medusa's veil, announcing the endless baptism of freshly created things.

Federico Garcia Lorca

I know that in Ames, Iowa, they fancy themselves being experts on the wind, but in Lubbock, Texas, we'll put our wind up against your wind in Iowa.

Mike Leach

Always win fools first. They talk much, and what they have once uttered they will stick to; whereas there is always time, up to the last moment, to bring before a wise man arguments that may entirely change his opinion.

Arthur Helps

Words empty as the wind are best left unsaid.

Homer

I can remember being eight years old and having infinite possibilities. But life ends up being so much less that we thought it would be when we were kids, with relationships that are so empty and stupid and brutal. If you don't find a way to break the chain and change in some way, then you wind up, as the rhyme goes: a murder of one, for sorrow.

Adam Duritz

Love makes you empty - empty of jealousy, empty of power trips, empty of anger, empty of competitiveness, empty of your ego and all its garbage. But love also makes you full of things which are unknown to you right now; it makes you full of fragrance, full of light, full of joy.

Rajneesh

Only fools, pure theorists, or apprentices fail to take public opinion into account.

Jacques Necker

For there is a wind or a ghost of wind in all books echoing the life there, a high wind that fills the tubes of the ear until we think we hear a wind, actual.

William Carlos Williams
