More From Lou Reed

Chief among our gains must be reckoned this possibility of choice, the recognition of many possible ways of life, where other civilizations have recognized only one. where other civilizations give a satisfactory outlet to only one temperamental type, be he mystic or soldier, business man or artist, a civilization in which there are many standards offers a possibility of satisfactory adjustment to individuals of many different temperamental types, of diverse gifts and varying interests.

There were two recording studios in bellingham. one was really expensive, a "nice studio." we were at the point where we were young and irreverent. we would scoff at the idea of a nice studio. "why would you want to go to a nice studio? oh wow, they have really expensive gear. ooh, that's really fancy. well we've got an eight-track. we've got it going on here." now that we have the resources, we're like, "oh wow, a nice studio is pretty nice! they do have nice outboards here. it's actually a pretty good place." it's funny how much changes so quickly.

I'll tell you what. i've been in combat. i've seen it, i've been close to it... and if my unit is danger, and i've got a captured guy, and the guy knows where the enemy is, and i'm looking him in the eye, the guy better tell me. that's all i'm gonna tell you. the guy better tell me. if it's life or death, he's going first.

"where do you get your ideas?" that's the one question i'm genuinely sick of being asked, and also genuinely fascinated by. what fascinates me is not that people ask the question, but what kind of answer are they really looking for? because if i tell them the truth, which is "i make them up," they seem very disappointed. they want to know about the trek i do once a year to the mountain.

It's not the 'nice' guy who brings about real social change. 'nice' guys look nice because they're conforming. it's the 'bad' guys, who only look nice a hundred years later, that are the real dynamic force in social evolution.

I'm not going to tell you i know george w. bush intimately. i'm not going to tell you we're best friends. i'll tell you i met him on a number of occasions. you know what? george w. bush is a very nice guy. very funny guy. his wife is a very nice woman; i thought she was a great first lady. george [w.] bush was the worst president in the history of the united states of america... the issue is not bernie sanders. the issue is the koch brothers. the issue is who owns america.

Most republicans are not prepared to stand up to the fossil fuel industry because they get a lot of their campaign funds from the koch brothers and other people in the fossil fuel industry. that tells me why we have to reform our campaign finance system.

My brother, are war and battle evil? necessary, however, is the evil; necessary are the envy and the distrust and the back-biting among the virtues.

The other night i went out to have dinner in a london pub and the barmaid had this whole conversation saying, 'you look just like that guy from twilight'. every time she came up, she said something like, 'you literally could be his brother'. but she never put two and two together.

My brother, this "religiosity" is not the standard by which true men of god are measured. in all the rituals that islam has, deeply imbedded in those rituals are principles of truth. and sometimes we get lost in the religiosity; we get lost in the "symbol," but we miss the substance of the truth that is buried in the ritual!
