David Bowie

Feeling so gay, feeling so gay.
David Bowie
Image
It is amazing how a new child can refocus one's direction seconds after its birth. Everything falls into a feeling of 'rightness'.

Don’t you love the Oxford Dictionary? When I first read it, I thought it was a really really long poem about everything.
David Bowie

I think that the history of rock could be recycled in a different way and brought back into focus without the luggage that comes along with it.
David Bowie

We slit the Catholic throat, stoned the poor on such slogans as wish you could hear and love is all we need.
David Bowie
Image
There's a thing that just as you go to sleep, if you keep your elbows elevated that you will never go below the dream stage. And I've used that quite a lot and it keeps me dreaming much longer than if I just relaxed.
David Bowie

Rock has always been the devil's music... I believe that rock & roll is dangerous... I feel that we're only heralding something even darker than ourselves.
