“Being raised in an unstable household makes you understand that the world doesn’t exist to accommodate you, which… is something a lot of people struggle to understand well into their adulthood. It makes you realize how quickly a situation can shift, how danger really is everywhere. But crises when they occur, do not catch you off guard; you have never believed you lived under a shelter of some essential benevolence. And an unstable childhood makes you appreciate calmness and not crave excitement.”

— Curtis Sittenfeld (via purplebuddhaquotes)

The impact of war is self-evident, since economically it is exactly the same as if the nation were to drop a part of its capital into the ocean.

Sean Booth: Basic fucking elitism right there. Nobody talks about the old days as being this horrible frenzy of elitism, but it fucking was. Rob Brown: But I never felt I was being held back by any one person or any one thing. Sean Booth: No, but it's like the fucking class system isn't it? You can't escape it, you're a 14-year-old, you've got an 18-year-old mate, he knows more about music than you because that's just how it is. Or was. Nowadays, that extra amount of information is not that valuable—the 14-year-old has got that at their fingertips. They don't need the 18-year-old to hold their hand. It's better because of that, but harder because you can't rely on tastemakers. I wouldn't complain about that, but obviously I miss John Peel! I don't know if you could ever have someone like that now. Do we need someone like that? Maybe we do, maybe we need someone to navigate the water and point out all the big fish. I'd like to think it can sort itself out and the kids can find the good stuff themselves, but maybe I'm naive and utopian. Maybe we're waiting for the algorithmic John Peel. Sean Booth: Heh, yeah, I bet Google are working on that!
