"Is forever longer than always?..." - Quote by Dolly Parton

“Less is not more. More is more.”

“I would honestly say that with all the awards and all the other things that I've done in my life, Dollywood is one of the greatest dreams that I've ever had come true - I am so proud of that I can't even begin to tell you, Dollywood is real special to me.”

“In the early days, Porter Wagoner would not exactly scold me, but he's say, 'You're writing too many damn verses. You're makin' these songs too damn long.' And I'd say, 'Yeah, but I'm tellin' a story. I have a story to tell.' And he'd say, 'Well, you're not going to get it on the radio.' If I start writing a song, I'm writing it for a reason. People would say that I had to have two verses, and a chorus, and a bridge. I tried to learn that formula.”

“I have been studying how I may compare This prison where I live unto the world; And, for because the world is populous, And here is not a creature but myself, I cannot do it. Yet I'll hammer it out.”

“The rainbow mirrors human aims and action. Think, and more clearly wilt thou grasp it, seeing Life is but light in many-hued reflection.”

“Be a mirror, absorb everything around you and still remain the same”

“Whatever shall we do in that remote spot? Well, we will write our memoirs. Work is the scythe of time.”

“Lightning and thunder need time, the light of the stars needs time, deeds need time, even after they are done, to be seen and heard.”

“Give me insight into today and you may have the antique and future worlds.”
