The highest levels of consciousness are wordless.

“For me, a woman who is absorbed in her work, who does not care about gaining one’s favour, strong yet subtle at the same time, is essentially more seductive. The more she hides and abandons her femininity, the more it emerges from the very heart of her existence.”

You say you are happy. Are you really happy, or are you merely trying to convince yourself. Look at yourself fearlessly and you will at once realize that your happiness depends on conditions and circumstances, hence it is momentary, not real. Real happiness flows from within.

…a person needs new experiences. They jar something deep inside, allowing him to grow. Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.

Stevie Wonder - Living For The City
Producer Malcolm Cecil revealed how they made the last verse obtain the raspy, angry vocal sound they were after: “We had to get find a way to get the vocal rougher and harder, sound like someone who’d been through some real shit, so we decided the only thing to do was try and get Steve real angry and get his voice hoarse, so when we were recording that vocal for the last verse again we kept on doing stuff that would get him angry and one of the things he hates is stopping the tape, you know if he doesn’t say stop the tape in the middle of a vocal then… well, we broke that rule! We kept on stopping the tape, “Come on Steve, you can do better than that, this is shit” and I was really shirty with him, and we got him hoarse, we wouldn’t give him tea, he likes this tea with no milk in it, with the lemon to clear the throat, We didn’t give him the tea. (Laughs) He was getting real upset; I think he’s still upset with me about that, but we got a great track!”
