“All humans are essentially wild creatures and hate confinement. We need what is wild, and we thrill to it, our wildness bubbling over with an anarchic joie de vivre.

“We are animal in our blood and in our skin. We were not born for pavements and escalators but for thunder and mud.… We are animal not only in body but in spirit. Our minds are the minds of wild animals. Artists, who remember their wildness better than most, are animal artists, lifting their heads to sniff a quick wild scent in the air, and they know it unmistakably, they know the tug of wildness to be followed through your life is buckled by that strange and absolute obedience.” ~Jay Griffiths
“What is wild cannot be bought or sold, borrowed or copied. It is.

Don't waste your wildness: it is precious and necessary.” ~Wild: An Elemental Journey

It’s a brilliant feeling when music touches you so profoundly and stays with you through time.” ~ Rob Halford
