In the streets the children screamed. The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed

And when no hope was left inside on that starry, starry night, you took your life as lovers often do. But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

When people ask me what 'American Pie' means, I tell them it means I don't ever have to work again if I don't want to.

In a sense, 'American Pie' was a very despairing song but it can also be seen as very hopeful.

Starry, starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze, swirling clouds in violet haze reflect Vincent's eyes of china blue.

Do you believe in rock 'n roll? Can music save your mortal soul?

Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry.

A long long time ago, I can still remember how that music use to make me smile.

Each thread of life that you leave, will spin around your deeds and dictate your needs.

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

My face on every coin engraved, the anarchists are all enslaved. My flag is forever waved, by the grateful people I have saved.

It is difficult to cultivate a healthy relationship in a landscape overgrown with blame, lack of trust, and betrayal

Do not underrate others, do not underrate yourself, and do not underrate anything! Do not overrate others, do not overrate yourself, and do not overrate anything!

If I learned anything in this life, I've learned that you can't cling on.

When all the world is overcharged with inhabitants, then the last remedy of all is war, which provideth for every man, by victory or death.

Comradeship is quite a different thing from friendship. . .

I think we'll still be a family restaurant, we'll be contemporary, we'll be lifestyle, we won't be old, we won't be 60 years old in the view of the consumer.

Old age is never honored among us, but only indulged, as childhood is; and old men lose one of the most precious rights of man,--that of being judged by their peers.

Are you a producer or a looter? If diversity were always and everywhere good we would be clamoring for more midgets in the NBA.

All the people have gone to war leaving no interrogator to mind.

Neither is life long enough for friendship. That is a serious and majestic affair.
