*'The whole Goth thing for me is a state of mind. An admittance that you're not the same as the people who work in Barclays Bank and you'll never really subscribe to the idea that you'll do a day job and come home to watch Big Brother.'  - Lee Chaos
*'To me, at least, the goth isn't a lifestyle, or a wardrobe or even identity. It simply *is*, and there's not a darned thing I can do change it. The only difference between me now and me at age nine is that now I buy my own clothes, so things just happen to end up being bought in black instead of other colors. It just turns out that way.' - [[Peter H. Coffin]]
*"It's a state of mind. And was invented by Lord Byron. On absinthe." - David Gerard
*I don't care as long as there's a really cute one sitting on my face.
