• In '98, I locked myself in my house, went out of my mind and wrote 25 songs. I rarely bathed during that period of writing; I sent out for food, I didn't really venture out of my house in three or four months. It was a hell of an experience. The album is an overview of birth to now.

• I like money, I love it, I use it wisely, constructively, and judiciously. Money is constantly circulating in my life. I release it with joy, and it returns to me multiplied in a wonderful way. It is good and very good. Money flows to me in avalanches of abundance. I use it for good only, and I am grateful for my good and for the riches of my mind.

• The ten days we passed there [at Ta Chêng Tzu], we were the song of the drunkard and the jest of the abjects; but the peace of God passes all understanding, and that kept my heart and mind. We put a calm front on, put out our stand daily, and carried ourselves as if nothing had happened. The great thought of my mind in these days, - and the great object of my life, - is to be like Christ. As He was in the world, so we are to be. He was in the world to manifest God; we are in the world to manifest Christ.

• When the tribal groups of december trade
  Seated in the figure of crocodile
  And songs are sung and deals discussed, are made
  Real. All... For more than one reason they smile.
  These codes are writ in secret, feeling fine
  To keep what's private to my self since we
  All must face our maker in our own ryhme
  And reasons for being ( from regrets) free
  So let the memory of your glory
  Be the tenderness heartfelt love starkly
  In the sky of my mind vast and pretty
  Evermore glittering simplicity
  Where in the truth of country grows sober
  And sunshines through fog to radiate wonder

  John Armstrong
