Direct Quotes
-
There are three means of believing--by inspiration, by reason, and by custom. Christianity, which is the only rational institution, does yet admit none for its sons who do not believe by inspiration. Nor does it injure reason or custom, or debar them of their proper force; on the contrary, it directs us to open our minds by the proofs of the former, and to confirm our minds by the authority of the latter.

If people get to hear us, maybe they might don’t like us, but they would definitely realise that there’s something different. We’re also very direct, which is a kind of dirty word in Britain. Then we’re dynamic, dramatic and about maximum excitement. You might find these kinds of values in styles like dubstep or rave, but they are hard to find in live bands.

I would love to direct but I feel like directing is a whole separate craft and so I tend to respect it as a separate craft that I would need to study first.

Ernst Haeckel -
Since I begrudgingly started my Instagram account and my social media exposure/connection. I say begrudgingly because I just didn't want to take the plunge, but when I realized it was just a direct connection to our customer and these women, I did it. I like listening to their stories and their feedback.
