He offers a handshake, crooked five fingers
They form a pattern yet to be matched
On the surface simplicity
But the darkest pit in me is pagan poetry

If travel is searching
And home what's been found
I'm not stopping
I'm going hunting
I'm the hunter
I'll bring back the goods
But I don't know when

More quotes by Björk

Nature has fixed no limits on our hopes.

It's a big question. Getting rid of religion would be a good start, wouldn't it? It seems to be causing a lot of havoc.

Our mother's philosophy
It feels like quicksand
And if she sinks
I'm going down with her

. . .
There's no map
And a compass
Wouldn't help at all

I don't like records that are the same from beginning to end, that are too styled and slick. Everything is so designed and airbrushed and Botoxed, it makes us think, 'Oh, everybody's perfect except me. Everything's smooth except me.' But nothing is smooth.
