I'd have a quote from the French philosopher, Pascal. I know it in French so here's a loose translation of it in English: "When he gets arrogant you bring him down. When he gets down on himself you bring him up and you always contradict him until he understands that he is himself an incomprehensible monster." That isn't monster in the sense of the monsters in the 'Thriller' video though, it's a quote about the power of rhetoric and the ever-changing nature of man.

Question If you had only one day left, how would you spend it — and what would you deliberately avoid? Death & what remains
I’d need instant satellite communication on my website and a camera. The achievement now would be to channel the last songs before I drop the body. If I was healthy and not ill I would like to spend the hours composing on camera online with as many people that wanted to experience the last day of song writing.
