If you ever get a war without blood and gore, well, I'll be the first to go.

A protest song is a song that's so specific that you cannot mistake it for bullshit.

America is two Mack trucks colliding on a superhighway because all the drivers are on amphetamines.

In such ugly times, the only true protest is beauty.

One good song with a message can bring a point more deeply to more people than a thousand rallies.

And if there's any hope for America, it lies in a revolution, and if there's any hope for a revolution in America, it lies in getting Elvis Presley to become Che Guevara.

Even though you can't expect to defeat the absurdity of the world, you must make that attempt.

The fortunes of the entire world may well ride on the ability of young Americans to face the responsibilities of an old America gone mad.

It's always the old to lead us to the war. It's always the young to fall.

Love is a rainbow curving down from the sky, falling crystals of color, shades of warm that never die.

The truest protest is beauty.

We live longerbut less preciselyand in shorter sentences.

Just as God expressed his great love by giving his son to die for our redemption, so we will express our love for God by giving to others

I love the idea that it doesn't take one person only to achieve your potential. It takes a village, it takes a community, a street, a teacher, a mother.

For one man is my world of all the men this wide world holds; O love, my world is you.

We beat the Great Depression without lotteries and legalized gambling

I won't stick around to see how much temptation I can take. God is not impressed with my ability to stand up to sin. He is more impressed by the obedience I show when I run from it.

Electronic music, for me, has been the only real pioneering music that actually does push boundaries and is constantly futuristic.

What my enemies call a general peace is my destruction. What I call peace is merely the disarmament of my enemies. Am I not more moderate than they?

We are living in the excesses of freedom. Just take a look at 42nd Street and Broadway.

It chills my blood to hear the blest Supreme Rudely appealed to on each trifling theme.
