“System of a Down are one of the most misunderstood bands around. I mean, Armenian rock? What the fuck is that? Political? I could name so many more of our songs that aren't about politics than ones that are. And for a long time, everyone thought Serj wrote all of our tunes. Until this album came out, people thought he wrote all the lyrics. So there are so many different misunderstandings of System of a Down that I don't even let it bother me anymore. I'm just kind of used to it. Our first bio said something like 'four guys based out of LA who are Armenian and political,' and, well, it wasn't really right at all. I mean, we are all Armenian, but we didn't plan that.”

“One’s academic degree is simply a piece of paper, if he has not learnt in life the basic lessons to practise humility, politeness, courteous nature and words of respect for others through his education.”

“Rather go to bed with out dinner than to rise in debt.”
Benjamin Franklin
“When you're in a mood to spend money on something that will not further your goal of getting out of debt, ask if you want it or need it - and if you don't, ask if you want it badly enough to further the bad feelings created by being in debt. Try to stay away from the stores, and don't look in the windows.”
Gay Abarbanell
“I just can't see going into more debt for a recreation center. There's needs, wants and desires, and we need to take care of the needs. I think it's foolish to have more debt.”
George Stewart
“You, like many people, have more debt than you want. This is a lot more common than you think. If doesn't matter if you have a lot of income or a little. If you spend more than you make, you will sink into debt.”
Sandra Langton
“Form follows function - that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.”
Frank Lloyd Wright
