Hello Chicken, Meet Egg. Egg, Meet Chicken

What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music? – Rob Gordon, High Fidelity

We are history's little soldiers

I on the other hand am walking through a larch wood and every step I take is history... Perhaps I don’t do any great things, but history is made up of little anonymous gestures; I may die to-morrow even before that German, but everything I do before dying and my death too will be little parts of history, and all the thoughts I’m having now will influence my history to-morrow, tomorrow’s history of the human race.
- Italo Calvino, The Path to the Nest of Spiders
