John Lennon was good for one great album based on musical direct address, ‘Plastic Ono Band.’  (Writing Philosophy Quotes) The arrogance that says analysing the relationship between reasons and causes is more important than writing a philosophy of shyness or sadness or friendship drives me nuts. I can’t accept that.  (Writing Philosophy Quotes) Teaching and writing about philosophy is about the only thing I’ve ever been really good at  (Writing Philosophy Quotes) When I’m not writing music, I’m playing guitar, or reading philosophy. So all I have left is just an hour or two for Claudia Schiffer.  (Writing Philosophy Quotes) When I'm not writing, I read loads of fiction, but I've been writing quite constantly lately so I've been reading a lot of nonfiction - philosophy, religion, science, history, social or cultural studies  (Writing Philosophy Quotes) In my writing with Extreme, there are heavy themes. The cover photo has me with a gun to my neck. I am not advocating suicide. I am taking the philosophy that man is the measure of his own fate  (Writing Philosophy Quotes)
