The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Tobias Forge
- The belief in something bigger and supernatural is not the same thing as linear religion.
- The original idea of being anonymous: it was a great, naive idea on paper in 2008, not knowing to what degree we’d be touring or to what extent this was going to be a professional operation. That regimen is very hard to live by. What I hadn’t foreseen was the fans and their willingness to embrace that and play along.
- My first teacher… was extremely strict, mean, and deeply religious.
- Once you get people’s attention, you have a greater responsibility to tell them something of value.
- I always layer my vocals a lot. I sing a minimum of three layers of the same line every time, and then it’s always one, two, or sometimes even more harmonies.
- So many people have opinions based not on fact but on spite.
- The problem with religious doctrine, as with politics, is that because of its ability to give people authority, it has a tendency to attract people who want authority for all the wrong reasons, and that is what it has done across all time.
- Let’s just say that I’ve spent a lot of time not being very successful.
- There are people who just love to destroy other people. It saddens me to admit that, I think, at whatever state of human civilization we arrive at, the will to destroy other people is something that is innate in some people.
- I like horror movies that have a degree of coziness to them.
