Benton MacKaye Quotes
The problem of living is at bottom an economic one. And this alone is bad enough, even in a period of so-called "normalcy." But living has been considerably complicated of late in various ways - by war, by questions of personal liberty, and by "menaces" of one kind or another.

I was a student in London in the '70s, so CBGB really wasn't on my radar at all.

In the United States alone, we spend seven times as much on war as on education. There's something wrong there.

It gives a certain social distance with your world.
