« Make marks with something that has a point. Such as the point of a pin or a nail. In sentences like these there are several points. Let us come now to the point (the real centre of our talk). You just don't understand my point of view (the way I think about the matter). I was just on the point of going when you came in (I was ready to leave when you came in). Point to show with the finger; »

« I was in no hurry to find the item of news that concerned me. Though I knew the precise date and could turn straight to it if I wished. I come now to the second, to the third, to the fourth. I was drawing nearer with each page that I turned to what I considered the most important action in my life. But the newspaper didn't prepare me in any way for the announcement. Among all these items of news in any way whatever the only one that concerned me would rise to the surface. Suddenly without a warning like a fish rising from the depths of the sea to leap at the bait. »

Guaranteed 02:34
« Often while walking abroad when I happened to come out of myself, I had such moments of dreadful and sane mistrust in mankind. What if nothing could ever move them. Lost in a crowd. Miserable and undersized. I meditated confidently on my power. Keeping my hand in the left pocket of my trousers. The supreme guarantee of my sinister freedom. »

« Painfully red from the sun, skinny, clumsy figure, all bones and knuckles, stuffed shoulders, sad nose. He can't wait for the thing to open and at the same time he hates to see it open. It's not only because it's going to flop. Brenner himself attempting to learn how to waterski, trying again and again to stand up, but never making it. Having to be fished out of the water finally, almost drowned from all the water he had swallowed. Now aiming the camera at him like a weapon. Laughing in the rocking boat. »

« I had no plans except to lead my own life. The night after I had burnt my schoolbooks, I had a vivid dream. I was walking as a small boy hand in hand with my parents along a narrow street. In Budapest we passed an ironmonger's shop and I tore myself free, entered the shop and bought a spade. »

Mary & Jane 01:20
« If we compare two things in order to see the difference between them, we separate Mary and Jane from others. If we contrast Mary's behaviour with that of Jane, we see that Mary is much kinder. We got to draw the line somewhere. »

« The Young Lions are a fascinating and seemingly unheard of Dutch Experimental Post-Punk band on Plurex Records [...] Their Industrial Dada Punk ramblings recall the rockier moments of Throbbing Gristle as well as their obscuro-avant- savant UK-cousins, The Door & The Window. »
