#quotes #carole-king #music #writing

Was awakened in the night to a strain of music dying away, passing travellers singing.

When I remembered what a narrow and finite life I should anon awake to! ~Henry David Thoreau

But I can't imagine that people like Klitschko, who position themselves as Europeans, and Yatseniuk, would willingly shake the hand of a person who in public states that Jews are the main threat to European civilization. Sometimes, while looking for and respecting opposition, we can't recognize it, ~Marek Siwiec

I think that the best rock n' roll is about the spirit of being young, the feeling of being 16 and getting crazy with your friends and going out to a show and just that whole feeling. ~Sebastian Bach
