Bye, Bye Miss American Pie, drove my chevy to the levy but the levy was dry. Good old boys drinking whiskey and rye, singing, this'll be the day that I die.

And when no hope was left inside on that starry, starry night, you took your life as lovers often do. But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

When people ask me what 'American Pie' means, I tell them it means I don't ever have to work again if I don't want to.

In a sense, 'American Pie' was a very despairing song but it can also be seen as very hopeful.

Starry, starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze, swirling clouds in violet haze reflect Vincent's eyes of china blue.

Do you believe in rock 'n roll? Can music save your mortal soul?

Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry.

A long long time ago, I can still remember how that music use to make me smile.

Each thread of life that you leave, will spin around your deeds and dictate your needs.

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

My face on every coin engraved, the anarchists are all enslaved. My flag is forever waved, by the grateful people I have saved.

What I personally knew about courting women could comfortably fit into a thimble without taking it off your finger first.

Cultural values change with times, unless they are built on an absolute standard of values and virtues. This standard must be afterwards well-guarded and protected.

You know I want to be a directos, but you could never truly see the movies in my head and that, Ed, is why we broke up.

You are not alone if you are lonely, When you feel afraid, you're not the only.

Have a life that matters. A life with purpose. Find your own way but don't lose sight of the journey.

I don't care what people think or say about me, I know who I am.

A friendship that exacts oneness of opinion and conduct is not worth much.

That we have collectively failed to halt and repudiate the war in Iraq makes us even worse than the Germans.

Because many advances have happened, we've lost the urgency (and that's just human nature) that we had before, when we couldn't vote, couldn't use mass transportation, or drink from the fountains.
