Paul Taylor
“I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my eyes and all is born again.”
Sylvia Plath
“Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.”
Plato
“In argument similes are like songs in love; they describe much, but prove nothing.”
Franz Kafka
“I'm a country songwriter and we write cry-in-your-beer songs. That's what we do. Something that you can slow dance to.”
Willie Nelson
“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
“That song, for me, is about drugs and alcohol and loss and love. It's about being proud of who you are, being proud of your situation and just being stoked that things are always going to get better or always gonna get worse and that's such a great thing. Every day is a new surprise.”
