You shouldn't eat red meat, but you shouldn't make resolutions you can't keep.

We never fit in completely to [the punk] scene because we were writing love songs that were heartfelt and endearing.

Our legal system, including the police, is anti-Dalit and anti-poor. The death penalty laws' wrathful majesty, in blood-shot equality, deals the fatal blow on the poor not the rich, the pariah not the brahmin, the black not the white, the underdog not the top dog, the dissenter not the conformist. . . The law barks at all but bites only the poor, the powerless, the illiterate, the ignorant.
