    Grim, but absolutely astonishing use of the language:

    Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather
    The multitudinous seas incarnadine,
    Making the green one red."

    "If you waste your time talkin to the people who dont listen to the things that you are sayin, who do you thinks gonna hear? And if you should die explain how the things that they complain about are things they could be changin, who do you thinks gonna care?

    There were other lonely singers in a world turned deaf and blind who where crucified for what they tried to show, and their voices have been scattered by the swirling winds of time, cuz the truth remains that no one wants to know"

    As for a quote regarding intellegince, how's this for a bit more "off the beaten path"...

    Personally, I don't necessarily mind a recycled thread every so often. Especially one such as this where there is the potential for lots of new material. Plus, I generally like quotes.
