"I don't feel any pressure from fans...." - Quote by Paul Simon

“...music is sometimes the only benign avenue of communication between antagonists.”

“When I first heard Elvis perform "Bridge Over Trouble Water" it was unbelivable,and I thought to myself, how the hell can I compete with that?”

“I regret the ending of our friendship and hope one day before we die, we'll make peace with each other . . . No rush.”

“Thou art to me a delicious torment.”

“I would like to be able to breathe— to be able to love her by memory or fidelity. But my heart aches. I love you continuously, intensely.”

“So avoid using the word 'very' because it's lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don't use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do. It also won't do in your essays.What you do today is important, because you are sacrificing a day of your life for it.Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.”

“I feel an earnest and humble desire, and shall do till I die, to increase the stock of harmless cheerfulness.”

“The more a man possesses over and above what he uses, the more careworn he becomes.”

“To be content with what we possess is the greatest and most secure of riches.”
