"A miserable, self-destructive, death rocker...better to burn..." - Quote by Kurt Cobain

“When I heard the Pixies for the first time, I connected with that band so heavily I should have been in that band - or at least in a Pixies cover band.”

“Rock & roll is dying. It’s frightening to think about the music scene 20 years from now.”

“I don’t wanna have any other kind of job. I can’t work among people. I may as well try & make a career out of this. All my life my dream has been to be a big rock star - just may as well abuse it while you can.”

“Immitation is suicide.”

“He that is proud eats up himself: pride is his own glass, his own trumpet, his own chronicle.”

“I must say... that I ruined myself: and that nobody, great or small, can be ruined except by his own hand.”

“For once you are going to hear a dream, a dream that I have made sound... I dreamed all this; never could my poor head have invented such a thing.”

“How little is required for pleasure! The sound of a bagpipe - without music, life would be an error.”

“I sailed on the North River last night with my flute, and my music was a tinkling stream which meandered with the river, and fell from note to note as a brook from rock to rock. I did not hear the strains after they had issued from the flute, but before they were breathed into it, for the original strain precedes the sound by as much as the echo follows after, and the rest is the perquisite of the rocks and trees and beasts. Unpremeditated music is the true gauge which measures the current of our thoughts, the very undertow of our life's stream.”
