A
quote from Peter Furler best
descibes the biggest
infulence on the
band.
" It seems to be
human nature to be tough on others as well a ourselves, feeling that we or they (varying on the individual) fail to live up to some
standard. If we could, just for a moment, see others and ourselves as our
creator sees us: compassion for the
prostitute, befriending the
tax collector,
loving the
leper and the
thief on the
cross...."today youll be with me in
paradise." To God,
everyone is
someone. "
