I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree.

Whenever the pressure of our complex city life thins my blood and numbs my brain I seek relief in the trail and when I hear the coyote wailing to the yellow dawn my cares fall from me - I am happy.

In some mysterious way woods have never seemed to me to be static things. In physical terms I move through them yet in metaphysical ones they seem to move through me.

For every person who has ever lived there has come at last a spring he will never see. Glory then in the springs that are yours.

The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert where man is never lonely for he feels life stirring on all sides.

I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do.

Never measure the height of a mountain until you have reached the top. Then you will see how low it was.

The poetry of the earth is never dead.

I've never intended to be controversial but it's very easy to be controversial in pop music because nobody ever is.

We're real people and we're a band that's been playing on the scene for a long time. We've made a lot of friends and one enemy we've always had was the NME. They've always basically slated us and they've basically never ever written about the music.

Ain't nobody making music to not be heard and the easiest way to be heard is to be on the radio but you should never compromise who you are your values or your morals.

You can never stop discovering music.

I've never believed that pop music is escapist trash. There's always a darkness in it even amidst great pop music.

I always knew I'd be in music in some sort of capacity. I didn't know if I'd be successful at it but I knew I'd be doing something in it. Maybe get a job in a record store. Maybe even play in a band. I never got into this to be a star.

The principle of the endless melody is the perpetual becoming of a music that never had any reason for starting any more than it has any reason for ending.

I don't listen to a lot of new stuff. I just like the old stuff. It's all quite dramatic and atmospheric. You'd have an entire story in song. I never listen to like white music - I couldn't sing you a Zeppelin or Floyd song.

I've never had a very quiet voice. I tried in choir to make it smaller and it just didn't work out. And I listened to a lot of soul music when I was growing up on my own accord. But I was mostly into Mama Cass and Gladys Knight and they all had big voices too just different than mine.

When people hear good music it makes them homesick for something they never had and never will have.

The great moments of rock 'n' roll were never off in some corner of the music world in a self-constructed ghetto.

Nature's music is never over her silences are pauses not conclusions.

I think that a song when it works never mind a piece of long form music even a song is something that speaks to itself but has a language all of its own ideally.

Music never dies. Do we really need another Madonna tour? Does she have to compete with women performers 25 years her junior?

Marilyn Monroe never sold a platinum album. And more people know my music than what I look like.

I never gave up on country music because I knew what I was doing was not that bad.
