"Lollipop Lollipop

Oh Lolli Lolli Lolli...

Call my baby Lollipop
Tell you why
'Cause he's sweeter than an apple pie
And when he does his shaky rockin' dance
Man I haven't got a chance
I call him

Crazy way he thrills-a me
Tell you why
Just like a lightning from the sky
He loves to kiss me
'Till I can't see straight
GEE, my Lollipop is great!
I call him..."

"The bird struggles

to get out of the egg.

The egg is the world.

Whoever is born

must destroy a world.

The bird flies to God.

The name of God is Abraxas."

- Hermann Hesse, Demian

“Dance, when you're broken open.

Dance, if you've torn the bandage off.

Dance in the middle of the fighting.

Dance in your blood.

Dance when you're perfectly free.”

― Rumi

"He saw the world as it is;

saw how the rich

lived beyond the jurisdiction

of law and public opinion,

and found in success

the ultima ratio mundi."

“There is only one class

in the community

that thinks more about money

than the rich,

and that is the poor.”

“My soul is full of longing

for the secret of the sea,

and the heart of the great ocean

sends a thrilling pulse through me.”

"A man loses his

sense of direction

after four drinks;

a woman loses hers

after four kisses."

"In the depth of my soul

there is a wordless song -

a song that lives

in the seed

of my heart."
