I'm just very sort of compulsive and lack the ability to keep things in perspective. if i'm not writing or playing guitar or on the microphone or out on the road, i'm cleaning pots and pans or freaking out about some plumbing issue or tweeting.

If a pot can multiply. one day nasrudin lent his cooking pots to a neighbour, who was giving a feast. the neighbour returned them, together with one extra one – a very tiny pot. 'what is this?' asked nasrudin. 'according to law, i have given you the offspring of your property which was born when the pots were in my care,' said the joker. shortly afterwards nasrudin borrowed his neighbour's pots, but did not return them. the man came round to get them back. 'alas!' said nasrudin, 'they are dead. we have established, have we not, that pots are mortal?'.

And what is the state but a servant and a convenience for a large number of people, just like the electric light and the plumbing system? and wouldnt it be preposterous to claim that men must exist for their plumbing, not the plumbing for the men.

An excellent plumber is infinitely more admirable than an incompetent philosopher. the society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.

Now any person who plays an acoustic guitar standing up on stage with a microphone is a folk singer. some grandmother with a baby in her arms singing a 500-year-old song, well, she's not a folk singer, she's not on stage with a guitar and a microphone. no, she's just an old grandmother singing an old song. the term "folk singer" has gotten warped.

What's your road, man? - holyboy road, madman road, rainbow road, guppy road, any road. it's an anywhere road for anybody anyhow. where body how?

I believe i love my guitar more than the others love theirs. for john and paul, songwriting is pretty important and guitar playing is a means to an end. while they're making up new tunes i can thoroughly enjoy myself just doodling around with a guitar for a whole evening. i'm fascinated by new sounds i can get from different instruments i try out. i'm not sure that makes me particularly musical. just call me a guitar fanatic instead, and i'll be satisfied.

Similar Quotes

This silence, this moment, every moment, if it's genuinely inside you, brings what you need. there's nothing to believe. only when i stopped believing in myself did i come into this beauty. sit quietly, and listen for a voice that will say, 'be more silent.' die and be quiet. quietness is the surest sign that you've died. your old life was a frantic running from silence. move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. live in silence.

We believe that peace is at hand.

I hope that what it comes down to at the end of the day is that people believe that i believe what i'm singing. it comes down to being believable. you don't have to be likeable; generally, though, i think i am.

Rationalists are admirable beings, rationalism is a hideous monster when it claims for itself omnipotence. attribution of omnipotence to reason is as bad a piece of idolatry as is worship of stock and stone believing it to be god.
