I gotta go on doin' it the way I see it...I got no choice but to take it like I see it. I'm here to have a party while I'm on this earth...I'm gettin' it now, today. I don't even know where I'm gonna be twenty years from now, so I'm just gonna keep on rockin', cause if I start saving up bits and pieces of me...man, there ain't gonna be nothing left for Janis.

I'm not really thinking much... Just sort of, trying to feel.

It's not what isn't, it's what you wish was that makes unhappiness.

Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got.

Hippies believe the world could be a better place. Beatniks believe things aren’t going to get better and say the hell with it, stay stoned and have a good time.

Wait a minute, maybe I can do anything.

You can't stay in your home town and play because the two people will get tired of seeing you.
