"I think people can do both terrible things and wonderful things when faced with the true understanding of their own powerlessness, vulnerability and lack of control."

-Nick Cave, Faith, Hope and Carnage

"Vulnerability is essential to spiritual and creative growth. Finding enormous strength through vulnerability. You're being open to whatever happens, including failure and shame. The two are connected, maybe - vulnerability and freedom."

-Nick Cave, Faith, Hope and Carnage

"I guess not, but who says creativity it the be all and end all? Who says that our accomplishments are the only true measure of what is important in our lives? Perhaps there are other lives worth living, other ways of being in the world."

-Nick Cave, Faith, Hope and Carnage

"The usual precepts collapse under the weight of the calamity: the terrible demands that we place upon ourselves; our own internal judging voice; the endless expectations and opinions of others. They suddenly become less important and there is a wonderful freedom in that as well."
