“Not a hope, a prayer; a fuckin' song.”
“The primary purpose of prayer is not to make requests. The primary purpose is to praise, to sing, to chant. Because the essence of prayer is a song, and man cannot live without a song. Prayer may not save us. But prayer may make us worthy of being saved.”
“Those are the greatest fuckin' song lyrics I've ever heard. Let's start a rock 'n' roll band and make a million dollars.”
“By your own soul, learn to live.If some men force you, take no heed.If some men hate you, have no care.Sing your song, dream your dreamsHope your hopes, and pray your prayers.”
“Fuckin' A... hope didn't so much spring eternal as it drowned out common sense and self-preservation.”
“And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.”
