Copy Quote Text

You know, any sane magician would never reveal his method of deception. And I don't think that a sensible musician would either.

Van Dyke Parks Composer

To make a collaboration succeed there can be no visible contusions or abrasions. For the collaboration to succeed, the relationship must be nourished and survive. That is absolutely essential for a collaboration to succeed.

Van Dyke Parks Composer

I don't want to give too much lugubrious thought to the gravitas of a coherent album. I don't want to develop a life of slavery to a large topic. I want to throw out some singles and that's what I'm doing, and they're not to be done in any other way.

Van Dyke Parks Composer

I think that smoking is a very good thing to do - it's got the association with the Indians; it's a peaceable thing. But like much else that the Indians gave us, we abused the privilege. And so, in my case I must simply stop. I'm too old to smoke. But I do believe that nicotine provides a great creative thrust.

Van Dyke Parks Composer

Marriage and friendship were built on trust and loyalty. Not deceit and lies. Love could only be given. It could never be demanded.

Sherrilyn Kenyon Writer

There was no respect for youth when I was young, and now that I am old, there is no respect for age, I missed it coming and going.

J. B. Priestley Novelist

There is a big age gap between my sisters Janice and Irma and myself so I didn't know them that well when I was younger although they have been very supportive in later life.

Alvin Lee Guitarist

"I'm not going anywhere," she told me that night. But until we are old ladies-a cypress age, a Sawtooth age-I will continue to link arms with her, in public, in private, in a panic of love.

Karen Russell Novelist

My expectations were reduced to zero when I was 21. Everything since then has been a bonus.

Stephen Hawking Physicist

We who live in this nervous age would be wise to meditate on our lives and our days long and often before the face of God and on the edge of eternity. For we are made for eternity as certainly as we are made for time, and as responsible moral beings we must deal with both.
