When I go out and race, I'm not trying to beat opponents, I'm trying to beat what I have done ... to beat myself, basically.

So sometimes it's better to have beats with less melodies in them, because then I can play more with my vocals.

Ryan MontgomeryDon't laugh at the spinsters, dear girls, for often very tender, tragic romances are hidden away in the hearts that beat so quietly under the sober gowns, and many silent sacrifices of youth, health, ambition, love itself, make the faded faces beautiful in God's sight.

Like eunuchs discussing the Kama Sutra, the voters discuss the elections in Laxmangarh.
