Hell and damnation, life is such fun with a ragged greatcoat and a Jerry gun!

The brain is not an organ to be relied upon.

With your whole body, with your whole heart, with your whole conscience, listen to the Revolution....This is the music everyone who has ears should hear.

What message, years of conflagration, have you: madness or hope? On thin cheeks strained by war and liberation bloody reflections still remain.
