• I used to write songs that mimicked other songs that I would hear as a kid, cos I was 12 years old when I was writing those, right. And you hear a radio so all I'd write about was [sings] "hey girl, look at you", you know what I mean. I think that even doing that made it easier for me to write non-personal songs because, from a kid, I never wrote personal songs, they were always like mimicking. And now I'm just trying to understand my writing and where it's coming from.

• Pity the nation whose statesman is a fox, whose philosopher is a juggler, and whose art is the art of patching and mimicking. Pity the nation that welcomes its new ruler with trumpetings, and farewells him with hootings, only to welcome another ruler with trumpetings again. Pity the nation whose sages are dumb with years and whose strong men are yet in the cradle. Pity the nation divided into fragments, each fragment deeming itself a nation.

  Khalil Gibran

• Nos convertimos en lo que amamos y lo que amamos da forma a lo que llegamos a ser. Si amamos cosas, nos convertimos en cosas. Si no amamos nada, nos convertimos en nada. La imitación no es una imitación literal de Cristo, sino que significa convertirse en la imagen del amado, una imagen revelada a través de la transformación. Esto significa que debemos convertirnos en recipientes del amor compasivo de Dios por los demás.

  Clara de Asís
