"I don't have time to stand around..." - Quote by Dolly Parton

“When its family, you tolerate what you'd kill others for.”

“I have a life outside the arenas.”

“I've always kinda been a little outcast myself, a little oddball, doin' my thing, my own way. And it's been hard for me to, to be accepted, certainly in the early years of my life.”

“In sweet music is such art: killing care and grief of heart fall asleep, or hearing, die.”

“The abstract music is just more interesting because it doesn't really have anything to say, but if it is good, it creates thoughts and feelings, and I enjoy that. For me, once the music creates those thoughts and feelings, I begin to write a song about it.”

“In one dancing saloon I saw the only rational method of art criticism I have ever come across. Over the piano was printed a notice: 'Please do not shoot the pianist. He is doing his best.'”

“I would rather have my ignorance than another man's knowledge, because I have so much of it.”

“Not infrequently, we encounter copies of important human beings; and here, too, as in the case of paintings, most people prefer the copies to the originals.”

“I cannot pretend to be impartial about the colours. I rejoice with the brilliant ones, and am genuinely sorry for the poor browns.”
