‘The value of Joy Division is the value of love.’ ‘The very best rock music is created by individuals and musicians obsessive and eloquent enough to inspect and judge destinies and systems with artistic totality and sometimes tragic necessity: music with laws of its own, a drama of its own…. The very best rock music will frighten us as much as it will entertain us. It will always be rock music that reflects the enormity of our struggle and our unease, that achieves a language that you feel in your heart, your spine, your eyes, rather than that music which submits to fame, fortune and fashion, that supports our faith in rock music. It is a faith worth having. It is certainly not a problem.’ ‘Don’t Walk Away In Silence’: an Ian Curtis obituary by Paul Morley and Adrian Thrills - New Musical Express, 14 June 1980.
