Able Quote by Jack White
“There are distractions, all around. There's so much media, for a young kid to battle against, to get to something soulful. You have to make a decision, on your own, what you can take from these people, if you can dig deeper. It's nice to be able to let people dig deeper.”

![“I'm excited by the band [White Stripes]. It really excites me. But it wouldn't excite me if there weren't those limitations, if we weren't living in that box, if we weren't trapped. Once that goes away, then I'll know that it's not worth doing it any more.” quote by Jack White](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/9d9/jack-white-1911_band_i-m-excited-by-the-band-white-stripes-it_80124.jpg)
