--"The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship" -R.W. Emerson
The ending sample used in "The Hawthorne Passage" is an excerpt taken from the film "Fando y Lis" by Alejandro Jodorowsky. The film itself is based on the play "Fando y Lis" by Spanish Theatre of the Absurd author Fernando Arrabal. The sample starting at 7:47 of the same song comes from the Swedish film "Det sjunde inseglet" ("The Seventh Seal") by Ingmar Bergman.
