Don't know much about history (Sam Cooke)

Search out the new ground around you, when the earth moves again (Jefferson Airplane)

Still I look to find a reason to believe (Rod Stewart)

Per aspera ad astra

(Through adversity to the stars) This is close in sentiment to the motto of my old school (Mount Albert Grammar) - Per angusta ad augusta which we knew to mean 'Through Hardship To Glory'.

Slender sums (Wild Beasts)

I am at two with nature  (Woody Allen)
