Washington Irving Zitate

The sorrow for the dead is the only sorrow from which we refuse to be divorced. Every other wound we seek to heal - every other affliction to forget: but this wound we consider it a duty to keep open - this affliction we cherish and brood over in solitude.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Das Leid für die Toten ist das einzige Leid, von dem wir uns weigern, uns scheiden zu lassen. Jede zweite Wunde, die wir heilen möchten, jede andere Krankheit, die wir vergessen müssen. Aber diese Wunde betrachten wir als eine Pflicht, sich offen zu halten - diese Krankheit, die wir in Einsamkeit pflegen und brüten.

Sin is, somehow, at the root of all human misery. Sin is what keeps us from God and from life. It is in the face of every battered woman, the cry of every neglected child, the despair of every addict, the death of every victim of every war.

I work with a bunch of producers on every album, but the difference for 'Evolver' was that I couldn't get any time with Kanye. I forget what he was doing at the time, but he was all over the place. We were never at the same city at the same time.
