Alternative Rock Quotes

“Creativity is the catalyst to the future.”
― Ann Marie Frohoff

“We agreed that at least to some extent the whole punk movement is based on the Buddha's 1st noble truth of suffering & the dissatisfactory nature of the material world. The punks see through the lies of society & the oppressive dictates of modern consumer culture. Very few punks though seem to take it further & attempt to understand the causes & conditions of the suffering & falsehoods, unfortunately punks rarely come around to seeing that there is actually a solution & a path to personal freedom. My own life's experience w/ both Dharma practice & punk rock inspired me to try to bridge the gap between the two. I've tried to help point out the similarities, while also acknowledging the differences, & to show those of my generation who are interested that they can practice meditation & find there the freedom we have been seeking in our rebellion against the system.”
― Noah Levine, Dharma Punx: A Memoir

“Music you love is imprinted on all that is you, a tattoo of sorts that fades too deep into the skin to see but remains against the bone, a memory of youth or an important era of your life.”
― Scott Thompson, Lost in ‘96
