As soon as you think of fishing you think of things that don't belong to the modern world. the very idea of sitting all day under a willow tree beside a quiet pool - and being able to find a quiet pool to sit beside- belongs to a time before the war, before radio, before aeroplanes, before hitler.

The second type you have at these parades seems to be the people who want to mislabel hitler. everybody in the world is hitler. bush is hitler, ashcroft is hitler, rumsfeld is hitler. the only guy who isn't hitler is the foreign guy with a mustache dropping people who disagree with him into the wood chipper. he's not hitler.

You're talking to a modern, nice, affable german person and they're saying to you something like 'you know, vell, it's a critical time now for germany within europe, also globally, economically ve are pretty good, ve have been better. but ve are very vibrant in the theater and arts...' and all the time you'll be listening to this, you're thinking mmm, yeah, mmm... hitler, hitler, hitler, hitler, hitler.

College radio is a very important medium that needs to survive in difficult economic times when some stations are being sold off and shut down. college radio is the future for broadcasting stars and pioneers of tomorrow, and we as a band, coldplay, support the vital mission of college radio and we also support college radio day, the day when college radio comes together.

'i don't need very much now,' said the boy, 'just a quiet place to sit and rest. i am very tired.'

My life is routine. i wake up early in the morning. i brush my teeth. i sit on the floor of the cell i do not go to breakfast. i stare at a gray cement wall. i keep my legs crossed my back straight my eyes forward. i take deep breaths in and out, in and out, and i try not to move. i sit for as long as i can i sit until everything hurts i sit until everything stops hurting i sit until i lose myself in the gray wall i sit until my mind becomes as blank as the gray wall. i sit and i stare and i breathe. i sit and i stare. i breathe.
