I want to share some of my favorite quotes with you;
"Good taste is the enemy of creativity." -- Pablo Picasso
"The only unnatural act is the one that cannot be performed." -- William Burroughs
"Rock n' roll keeps you young in your soul and in your mind." -- Liam Gallagher
"Music is just a handy way of telling what's on your mind. No music. No mind." -- Woody Guthrie
"There's only one truth, I think, and that's your personal truth, and that's what you should believe." -- Noel Gallagher
"I don't know if God would agree with me, but believing in God is kind of unimportant when compared to believing in yourself." -- Billy Corgan
"To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end in life." -- Robert Louis Stevenson
"...we're born a certain way, we're taught to be something different, and we spend our whole lives trying to unravel it and ultimately align ourselves with who we really are. Life, experiences, traumas -- whatever -- they all add up to make you some altered version of what you are. So there's this battle that goes on between what you are and what you become." -- Billy Corgan
"The poet becomes a seer through a long, immense, and reasoned derangement of the senses. All shapes of love, suffering, madness. He searches himself, he exhausts all poisons in himself, to keep only the quitessences..." -- Allen Ginsberg
"...they danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles..." -- Jack Kerouac, On the Road
"...just as I was leaning out to whisper 'goodbye' (only I forgot where your ear was exactly, and somehow fancied it was above your chin)..." -- Lewis Carroll
