Break Quote by John Lydon
“What goes on in the world and who's defining what is right or wrong in anything? Is there a place in any of our existence where we need judgment any longer? But we should have empathy towards each other and break away from those categories that politics and religion keep throwing back at us.”

![“I do not want to end up with an American style of politics, with us going out there beating our chest about our faith.
