"The truest expression of a people is in its dance and music."
Movies
"No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul."
Television
"I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book."
Books
"Books won't stay banned. They won't burn. Ideas won't go to jail. In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost. The only sure weapon against bad ideas is better ideas."
Heroes
"We relish news of our heroes, Forgetting that we are extraordinary to somebody too."

Love Not Riots has been re-branded ...... Click Here for the new myspace page of The Better Festival Group
This is the Official MySpace for the Love Not Riots Campaign created and managed by Zee and Amy of Sittingbourne, Kent.
The idea for this campaign was created on the efestivals.co.uk forums by a small group of people, who simply want to put a stop to the extreme violence and destruction at Reading and Leeds festivals on the Sunday nights and early hours of the Monday mornings. Launched in 2006 at Reading and Leeds Carling Weekend Festival, 2007 proves to be an even busier year with hopes of returning to Reading and Leeds aswell as Download festivals coming onboard :-)
After hearing many chilling stories, of truely horrific stories, we feel that it is now time to put a stop to the atrocities. Below, are some accounts which express how bad the riots can get.
''I hope you think twice next year, You may think you are having fun but it has serious consequences
i was stood near a fire on Sunday night at Leeds, and I was not rioting or putting gas cannister in the fires, i was talking to my friend when the next second i was knocked to the ground
I got myself back to my feet and i was covered in blood i opened my right eye and i could see nothing. I was sent to Leeds hospital where I spent a week seeing doctors that tried to save the sight in my eye, but they all said the same "you will never have any sight out of your right eye again" to stop a risk of infection and making me blind in my other eye, the only option was to remove my eye totally, so i am now in the process of gettin an artifical eye.
i just want to say thanks for all those people that put somethin pressuried in a fire on sunday night, one of you did this to me,
THINK BEFORE YOU ACT''
''When I went to Leeds, it was only really part of the yellow campsite and the village where there was trouble, and most of that was a few benches being smashed, a large bonfire, and one large pole being pulled down. The fire had a crowd of about 200 people around it, and maybe a dozen or so people were in the middle chucking stuff on the fire and generally behaving like t****''
On Sunday night of Reading 2005, I was woken up by my friend and told "We've got to move, people are burning tents!" I told him to shut up and I went back to sleep. I woke up 10 minutes later feeling quite warm. Stepping out from my tent, I saw quite possibly the biggest fire I have ever seen (asides from watching a house burn down) not 20 yards from where we were camped. I nearly shat myself.
People were dragging tents down and pushing them into the fire, and multiple explosions were caused by people throwing gas canisters into the inferno. My friend, who is clostraphobic, had her tent collapsed whilst she was still inside; needless to say she was far from impressed. We all took down our tents, packed up our stuff in a hasty manner and took them to our cars. On the way there, someone tried to steal my sleeping bag, and the bag containing everything I took to the festival. No one tried to stop him, and others just laughed and tried to join in. .
I have never been more angy, scared, annoyed, depressed or frightened in my entire life.
