Because after my first year I had a lot of success, took everybody by storm, came back the next year thought it was easy and didn't have near the season I had the previous year. It was kind of a wake-up call. And so, life goes on.

Once I was checking to hotel and a couple saw my ring with Blues on it. They said, 'You play blues. That music is so sad.' I gave them tickets to the show, and they came up afterwards and said, 'You didn't play one sad song.'

Buddy Guy

I just want to be enough for you, but I never can be. This can never be enough for you. But this is all you get. You get me, and your family, and this world. This is your life. I'm sorry if it sucks. But you're not going to be the first man on Mars and you're not going to be an NBA star, and you're going to hunt Nazis.

John Green

Science and art are only too often a superior kind of dope, possessing this advantage over booze and morphia: that they can be indulged in with a good conscience and with the conviction that, in the process of indulging, one is leading the higher life

Aldous Huxley, Ends and Means, c

Until a friend or relative has applied a particular proverb to your own life, or until you've watched him apply the proverb to his own life, it has no power to sway you.

Nicholson Baker

It's disconcerting to realize how little you have to say to someone who once occupied such a prominent place in your bed.

Sue Grafton

It was good to travel to the other side of the world.

Andre Braugher

God will answer you prayers better than you think. Of course, one will not always get exactly what he has asked for....We all have sorrows and disappointments, but one must never forget that, if commended to God, they will issue in good....His own solution is far better than any we could conceive.

Fanny J. Crosby

We never live; we are always in the expectation of living.

Voltaire (FrançoisMarie Arouet)

Communism is the death of the soul. It is the organization of total conformity - in short, of tyranny - and it is committed to making tyranny universal.

Adlai E. Stevenson

Sometimes I think our problems are made worse by the kind of business we're in. Playing these road shows is a weird experience.

Loretta Lynn

Success: Big shots are only little shots who keep shooting.

Christopher Morley

Start with the difficult and when it gets easy, everything else is easier.
