I was, as a kid, really obsessed with reading... that was about as geeky as you could possibly get. ~Junot Diaz

I try to write like the writers I admire, I rip them off in form. It comes from George Strait and Merle Haggard records, and country music in general is really good at that, the twisted phrase. So I'm always looking for that angle in my own work. ~Brad Paisley
#quotes #brad-paisley #writing #music

Was awakened in the night to a strain of music dying away, passing travellers singing. My being was so expanded and infinitely and divinely related for a brief season that I saw how unexhausted, how almost wholly unimproved, was man's capacity for a divine life. When I remembered what a narrow and finite life I should anon awake to! ~Henry David Thoreau

What bothers most critics of my work is the goofiness. One reviewer said I need to make up my mind if want to be funny or serious. My response is that I will make up my mind when God does, because life is a commingling of the sacred and the profane, good and evil. To try and separate them is fallacy. ~Tom Robbins

I'm an untrained musician. Untrained musicians don't really have any music theory, they don't have a lot of rules. We break the rules, but it's mostly because we don't know what the rules are. It's easy for us to go to certain places, so I'm not surprised that a lot of people were amused by my songwriting style. ~Frank Black

Maine out of season is unmistakably a great destination; hospitable, good humored, plenty of elbow room, short days, dark nights of crackling ice crystals. ~Paul Theroux

The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places, but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater. ~J.R.R. Tolkien
