“Nothing is better than music... it has done more for us than we have the right to hope for. ”

“See you and me have a better time than most can dream of, better than the best, so we can pull on through, whatever tears at us, whatever holds us down, and if nothing can be done, we'll make the best of what's around.”

“in this land some of us fuck more than we die but most of us die better than we fuck”

“I miss having a villain. Whether we realize it or not, most of us define ourselves by opposing rather than by favoring something or someone. To put it another way, it is easier to react than to act. Nothing arouses a passion for dogma more than a good antagonist. And the more unlikely the better.”

“ Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.”

“My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than feel. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful, and optimistic. And we'll change the world.”
