Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.

For my best poems were all written when I felt the worst. When I was happy, I didn't write anything.

The calm, Cool face of the river, Asked me for a kiss

I will not take "but" for an answer.

I do not want no pretty woman. First thing you know, you fall in love with her-then you got to kill somebody about her. She'll make you so jealous, you'll bust!

I have discovered in life that there are ways of getting almost anywhere you want to go, if you really want to go.

I swear to the Lord, I still can't see, why Democracy means, everybody but me.
