I've looked at pictures that my mom has of me, from when I was four years old at the turntable. I'm there, reaching up to play the records. I feel like I was bred to do what I do. I've been into music, and listening to music and critiquing it, my whole life.

Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.

Oscar Wilde

There has never been a statue erected to the memory of someone who let well enough alone.

Jules Ellinger

Oh, I love to play on the road. I really love it.

Johnny Winter

Mine is a most peaceable disposition. My wishes are: a humble cottage with a thatched roof, but a good bed, good food, the freshest milk and butter, flowers before my window, and a few fine trees before my door; and if God wants to make my happiness complete, He will grant me the joy of seeing some six or seven of my enemies hanging from those trees.What Heine expresses as a kind of joke is, according to Freud, a deep psychological truth: along with the innate human drive for pleasure there is also an equally innate drive to inflict pain upon others. This impulse estranges people from one another and renders them decidedly antisocial.~ Lee Hardy, The Fabric of this World

Heinrich Heine, Gedanken und Ein

There's nothing cure or funny or lovable about being cheap. It's a total turn-off.

Doug Coupland

I believe time wounds all heels.

John Lennon

I have seen the science I worshiped, and the aircraft I loved, destroying the civilization I expected them to serve.

Charles Lindbergh

One is rarely an impulsive innovator after the age of sixty, but one can still be a very fine orderly and inventive thinker. One rarely procreates children at that age, but one is all the more skilled at educating those who have already been procreated, and education is procreation of another kind.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

The fun of talk is to explore, but much of it and all that is irresponsible should not be written. Once written you have to stand by it. You may have said it to see whether you believed it or not.

Ernest Hemingway

To travel is to take a journey into yourself.

Danny Kaye

A man must love a thing very much if he not only practices it without any hope of fame and money, but even... without any hope of doing it well.

Oliver Herford

Technology is similarly just a catalyst at times for fundamental forces already present.

Scott Cook
