More Noise Please!
“Well, maybe this is true … maybe we can’t live without all this god.damn.noise. Maybe I need the noise to write poems, make love, and eat. I’m going to hang a sign out my window that says, ‘More noise, please!’ or ‘Thank you for making noise!'” – from More Noise Please by Steven Jesse Bernstein
