“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Great Lyric

And speaking of emo, here is a few lines from the New Radicals' “I Hope I Didn't Just Give Away the Ending”:

We started limping
Caught the handicap shuttle to town
And yelled "god's healed us"
As we ran off the bus the driver just frowned
By the way this girl was sexy and she wouldn't touch you
That may not be true
But I said it so you'd feel involved with the song


Incredible combination of Romantic irony and Prince.
