All of the Arts. Tattooing, painting, drawing, poetry and film are my favorites. To pass time, people watching has to be the best. The things people do when they think no one is looking amazes me daily!!! FREAKS! LOL! Politics, psychology, and spirituality always make for good conversations.
音樂
Not something to be heard, but something felt. Anything that I can relate to. I think every major event or time period of my life has a song attached to it.

Fyodor Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" 1866:
‘What do you think?’ cried Razumikhin in a still louder tone. ‘Do you think I am annoyed because they talk nonsense? Rubbish! I like people to talk nonsense. It is man’s unique privilege, among all the other organisms. By pursuing falsehood you will arrive at the truth! The fact that I am in error shows that I am human. You will not attain to one single truth until you have produced at least fourteen false theories, and perhaps a hundred and fourteen, and that is honorable enough in its fashion; but we can’t even produce our errors out of our own heads. You can talk the most mistaken rubbish to me, and if it is your own, I will embrace you! It is almost better to tell your own lies than somebody else’s truth; in the first case you are a man, in the second you are no better than a parrot! Truth remains; but life can be choked up; there have been instances. Well, what are we all now? We are all, without exception, children in the kindergarten, in respect of science, progress, thought, invention, ideals, desires, liberalism, judgment, experience, and everything, everything, everything, everything! We have been content to rub along on other people's ideas -- we have rusted away! That is so, isn't it? What I say is true, isn't it?' exclaimed Razumikhin, shaking and squeezing both ladies' hands. 'Isn't it?'
"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."
Eve from the motion picture "V for Vendetta":
"My father was a writer. You would've liked him. He used to say that artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use them to cover the truth up."
Gerald Massey
"They must find it difficult... Those who have taken authority as the truth, rather than truth as the authority."
