Quotes - Who are you to judge the life i live
“Studies
show:
Intelligent
girls are more depressed
Because
they know
What
the world is really like
Don't
think for a beat it makes it better
When
you sit her down and tell her
Everything
gonna be all right
She
knows in society she either is
A
devil or an angel with no in between
She
speaks in the third person
So
she can forget that she's me”

Emilie Autumn
“It
is always fatal to have music or poetry interrupted.”

George Eliot, Middlemarch
“He
not busy being born is busy dying.”

Bob Dylan
“Who
are you to judge the life i live
i
know i'm not perfect and i don't live to be.
but
before you start pointing fingers
make
sure your hands are clean.”

Jimi Hendrix
“For
the first time, he heard something that he knew to be music. He heard people
singing. Behind him, across vast distances of space and time, from the place he
had left, he thought he heard music too. But perhaps, it was only an echo.”

Lois Lowry, The Giver
“Heard
melodies are sweet, but those unheard
Are
sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on.”
―
John Keats, The Complete Poems
“It’s
not that we have to quit
this
life one day, but it’s how
many
things we have to quit
all
at once: music, laughter,
the
physics of falling leaves,
automobiles,
holding hands,
the
scent of rain, the concept
of
subway trains... if only one
could
leave this life slowly!”

Roman Payne, Rooftop Soliloquy
“Give
me a shot to remember
And
you can take all the pain away from me
A
kiss and I will surrender
The
sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A
light to burn all the empires
So bright
the sun is ashamed to rise and be
And
I'm in love with all of those vampires
So
you can leave like the sane abandoned me”

Gerard Way
“And
I'll dance with you in Vienna,
I'll
be wearing a river's disguise.
The
hyacinth wild on my shoulder
my mouth
on the dew of your thighs.
And
I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook,
with
the photographs there and the moss.
And
I'll yield to the flood of your beauty,
my
cheap violin and my cross.”
―
Leonard Cohen, Stranger Music: Selected Poems and Songs
“I
have an idea that the only thing which makes it possible to regard this world
we live in without disgust is the beauty which now and then men create out of
the chaos. The pictures they paint, the music they compose, the books they
write, and the lives they lead. Of all these the richest in beauty is the
beautiful life. That is the perfect work of art.”
― W.
Somerset Maugham, The Painted Veil
“And
these children that you spit on
As
they try to change their worlds
Are
immune to your consultations.
They're
quite aware of what they're going through.
-
Changes”
―
David Bowie
“THAT
crazed girl improvising her music.
Her
poetry, dancing upon the shore,
Her
soul in division from itself
Climbing,
falling She knew not where,
Hiding
amid the cargo of a steamship,
Her
knee-cap broken, that girl I declare
A
beautiful lofty thing, or a thing
Heroically
lost, heroically found.
No
matter what disaster occurred
She
stood in desperate music wound,
Wound,
wound, and she made in her triumph
Where
the bales and the baskets lay
No
common intelligible sound
But
sang, 'O sea-starved, hungry sea”
―
William Butler Yeats, The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats
“No
matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless our government, our corporations, our
media, and our religious & charitable institutions may become, the music
will still be wonderful.”
―
kurt vonnegut, A Man Without a Country
“Never
underestimate a girl’s love for her favorite band. Never think even for a
minute, that she won’t defend them to her death. Because it’s not just the
music that makes that band her favorite. It’s the guys, the gals. It’s the
fans. People whom of which she has interacted with thanks to the band. That
band might of saved her life, or just made her smile everyday. That band has
never broke her heart and has yet to leave her. No wonder she finds such joy in
her music.”
