“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”
J.R.R. Tolkien
“I've never written a political song. Songs can't save the world. I've gone through all that.”
Bob Dylan
“There's no insecurity about my song writing. I start a lot more songs than I finish, because I realize when I get into them, they're no good. I don't throw them away, I just put them away, store them, get them out of sight.”
Johnny Cash
“The music is the shining path over which the poet travels to bring his song to the world.”
Lotte Lehmann
“Three things are needed for a good life, good friends, good food, and good song.”
Jason Zebehazy
“Song writing is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being possessed. You try to go to sleep, but the song won't let you. So you have to get up and make it into something, and then you're allowed to sleep.”
John Lennon
“I am out to sing songs that will prove to you that this is your world and that if it has hit you pretty hard and knocked you for a dozen loops, no matter what color, what size you are, how you are built, I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and in your work. And the songs that I sing are made up for the most part by all sorts of folks just about like you.”
Woody Guthrie
