“We can’t do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime we should all go shopping to console ourselves.”
-Banksy

‘If you want a cat for 365 days, right? But you ain’t got him for 365 days, you got him for one day, man.
Well I tell you that one day better be your life, man. Because, you know… you can cry about the other 364, man, but you’re gonna lose that one day, man, and thats all you’ve got.
You gotta call that love, man. That’s what it is, man.”
-Janis Joplin
