"Being fresh is more important than having..." - Quote by Kanye West

“I would hear stories about Steve Jobs and feel like he was at 100 percent exactly what he wanted to do, but I'm sure even a Steve Jobs has compromised. Even a Rick Owens has compromised. You know, even a Kanye West has compromised. Sometimes you don't even know when you're being compromised till after the fact, and that's what you regret.”

“As kids we used to laugh/Who knew that life would move this fast?Who knew I'd have to look at you through a glass?And look, tell me you ain't did it, you ain't did itAnd if you did, then that's family business.”

“When you're the absolute best, you get hated on the most.”

“Our children need strong families raising them with sturdy virtues, not to be smothered in the cold arms of the state.”

“I can love freedom and the flesh and blood of my people moreso than I do the money.”

“There is no country in which so absolute a homage is paid to wealth. In America there is a touch of shame when a man exhibits theevidences of large property, as if after all it needed apology. But the Englishman has pure pride in his wealth, and esteems it a final certificate. A coarse logic rules throughout all English souls: if you have merit, can you not show it by your good clothes and coach and horses?”

“Please everyone without becoming a hypocrite or a coward.”

“I let people fill in the blanks on their own. If they want to think about their ex, that's fine. If they want to think about maybe who one of my exes is, then that's fine. And it might not be right, because I'm the only one who knows what these songs are really about. It's the one shred of privacy I have in the matter.”

“Much of our poetry has the very best manners, but no character.”
