"The aims of these groups are entirely irreconcilable. The aim of the High is to remain where they are. The aim of the Middle is to change places with the High. The aim of the Low, when they have an aim---for it is an abiding characteristic of the Low that they are too much crushed by drudgery to be more than intermittenly conscious of anything outside their daily lives----is to abolish all distinctions and create a society in which all men shall be equal. Thus throughout history a struggle which is the same in its main outlines recurs over and over again."
-George Orwell, 1984

-Plastic Bag by X-Ray Spex

Yellow. You are all that is bright and joyful. You are the sunbeams and the flowers that drink them. You are lemons and bananas. You are sour and sweet. You are all the beauty that cannot stay. You are yellow, you are perfect. please visit me again.

"Each season was determined by the budding or leafing of plants, the spawning of fish or the rutting time for animals. Most Indians thought the white race had been running around like scared rabbits ever since the invention of the clock.”
-Linda Light and Trudy Ann Parker

"Paying homage to the way that both nature and time are tirelessly in the process of progressing, the Carnival of Time is when the peoples of the four worlds celebrate that harmony and request fruitfulness for the year. For ages, people have worn masks resembling the giants who are the gods of the four worlds."
-Granny from Majora's Mask
