Banal words function as a feeble phenomena that fall into their own mental bogs of meaning.

Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.

The men of Spain held ground for a little while, but then their hearts broke under their fine red coats, and they ran away to hide in the jungle.

It&#39;s better to burn out, than to fade away.

The cutthroat avenues of rock &#39;n&#39; roll, I am fed up with. I don&#39;t want anything to do with it.

I don&#39;t think I&#39;m a thorn in the industry, I&#39;m just another part of it.

With Crazy Horse, it&#39;s all one big, growing, smoldering sound, and I&#39;m part of it. It&#39;s like gliding, or some sort of natural surfing.

To protect our freedoms, it seems we&#39;re going to have to relinquish some of our freedoms for a short period of time.
