You can't imagine parlor ballads drifting out of high-rise multi-towered buildings. That kind of music existed in a more timeless state of life.

DESTINY is a feeling you have that you know something about yourself nobody else does. The picture you have in your own mind of what you're about WILL COME TRUE. It's a kind of a thing you kind of have to keep to your own self, because it's a fragile feeling, and you put it out there, then someone will kill it. It's best to keep that all inside.

[Bob] Dylan's broken-heart songs are so much better. Like "Simple Twist of Fate".

Socialism, hypnotism, patriotism, materialism, fools making laws for the breaking of jaws.

Why wait any longer for the one you love When he’s standing in front of you

Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.

I hate myself for loving you and the weakness that it showed. You were just a painted face on a trip down to suicide road.
