More quotes by Billy Corgan
The difficulty, if you're in the world - and this is for anybody - is the eventual disappointment that comes with having to meet other versions of reality. Imposed systems that ask you to compromise or sacrifice things which you consider holy or sacred.
Billy Corgan
Beware of those angels with their wings glued on.

Billy Corgan
It's important for people to talk and get beyond the wall of Facebook and social media.
Billy Corgan
I think humankind is going to have to evolve into systems that are more transparent. Then people will be able to make more integral choices about the food they eat.
Billy Corgan
I often have deer on my property and there's a fox and owls. You're not going to see that in the city.
Billy Corgan
Where is this great love for rock and roll that existed for 50 or 60 years?
Billy Corgan
Everybody I'm working with now is a friend. And I would be very, very remiss to work with anybody in the future who has not shown me who they really are.
Billy Corgan
If you don't fit into this kind of like gossipy, trendy, Web-hit thingy, you're relegated to sort of second-class celebrity status.
Billy Corgan
I was part of a generation that changed the world - and it was taken over by poseurs.
Billy Corgan
I never seemed to fit in. But it made me try to strive for things ten times harder.
Billy Corgan
I mean, I'm certainly not a 'teaophyte,' or whatever the word would be.
