More quotes by Billy Joel

Image
In every heart there is a room, a sanctuary safe and strong, to heal the wounds from lovers past, until a new one comes along... So I would choose to be with you. That's if the choice were mine to make. But you can make decisions too. And you can have this heart to break. And so it goes, and so it goes. And you're the only one who knows.
Billy Joel
Image
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in / There's an old man sitting next to me making love to his tonic and gin / He says, 'Son, can you play me a memory?/ I'm not really sure how it goes / But it's sad and it's sweet, and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man's clothes.'

Billy Joel

You may never understand How the stranger is inspired For he is not always evil, And he is not always wrong.
Billy Joel
Image
You look so polished from your hair down to your toes, but still your finger's gonna pick your nose.

Give a moment or two to the angry young man with his foot in his mouth and his heart in his hand.
Billy Joel
Image
We might be laughing a bit too loud, but that never hurt no one
Billy Joel
Image
As long as there are memories, yesterday remains. As long as there is hope, tomorrow awaits. As long as there is friendship, today is beautiful.
Billy Joel

I did write a letter to the archdiocese who'd banned the song, Only the Good Die Young, asking them to ban my next record.
Billy Joel
Image
There's a place in the world for the angry young man With his working class ties and his radical plans He refuses to bend, he refuses to crawl He's always at home with his back to the wall And he's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost And he struggles and bleeds as he hangs on the cross And he likes to be known as the angry young man.

Even though I'm in love, sometimes I get so afraid.
Billy Joel
Image
I am no longer afraid of becoming lost, because the journey back always reveals something new, and that is ultimately good for the artist.
Billy Joel
Image
I definitely prefer being a lover than a fighter.

If you tell kids they can't have something, that's what they want.
