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

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.

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.

Faces come and faces go in circular rotation.But something yearns within to grow beyond infatuation.

Extraordinary power exists in a trial of patience. Few endure their trials well enough to discover this.

And off in the far distance, the gold on the wings of the angel atop the bell tower of San Marco flashed in the sun, bathing the entire city in its glistening benediction.

I would like my life to be a movie so I could cut to a montage.

Weve become a plastic society.

I'm not in the judgment part of journalism.

What, start at this! when sixty years have spread. Their grey experience o'er thy hoary head? Is this the all observing age could gain? Or hast thou known the world so long in vain?

If you don't say the honest thing, it never becomes true.

I notice if I'm too fat or if I'm too ugly or there's skin hanging or whatever. When my clothes start not fitting, I get really self-conscious about what I eat.

We are a nation within a nation.
