"I used to envy the father of our race, dwelling as he did in contact with the new-made fields and plants of Eden; but I do so no more, because I have discovered that I also live in "creation's dawn." The morning stars still sing together, and the world, not yet half made, becomes more beautiful every day."

-- John Muir

“You are not likely to see any general reformation, till you procure family reformation.”
“The only religion that ought to be taught is the religion of fearlessness. Either in this world or in the world of religion, it is true that fear is the sure cause of degradation and sin. It is fear that brings misery, fear that brings death, fear that breeds evil. And what causes fear? Ignorance of our own nature.”

“I actually like a film in a gallery, because you don't have to show up at a certain time to see something, you can just walk in whenever. I like that freedom to be able to see something anytime.

“Because of an off-hand funny comment I made backstage at a concert years ago, a story circulated that the song has been a burden and even that I didnÂ’t sing it for a while. ThatÂ’s completely false. I am very proud of Â‘American PieÂ’ and the many satellites that grow from it and revolve around it. For many years I carried my songs around and now they carry me around. I have always sung Â‘American PieÂ’ for my audience and would never think of disappointing them since it is they who have given me a wonderful life and untold affection for almost 30 years.”
“It's such a contentious thing to get people in a room and just say, "go!"”

“Ian MacKaye was in London while I was living there. We both decided that even though we had very different lifestyles, we had the same mentality - politically, and in a lot of other different ways. His statement was, "We're going to the same place, except you're taking a taxi, and I'm driving my own car." That's me and Ian MacKaye's relationship. I love him, he's great.”
