—Greil Marcus (b. 1945)
“There is all the difference in the world between departure from recognised rules by one who has learned to obey them, and neglect of them through want of training or want of skill or want of understanding. Before you can be eccentric you must know where the circle is.”

“Hunger shall make thy modest zone
And cheat fond death of all but bone—”
