&quot;As I hide behind these books I read, while scribbling my poetry,<br /> like art could save a wretch like me, with some ideal ideology that no one can hope to achieve.<br /> And I am never real; it is just a sketch of me.<br /> And everything I made is trite and cheap and a waste of paint, of tape, of time.&quot; - Bright Eyes

See the animal in his cage that you built. Are you sure what side you&#039;re on? What if everything around you, Isn&#039;t quite as it seems? What if all the world you think you know, Is an elaborate dream? -Nine Inch Nails
