More quotes by Jackson Browne
The idea that I wrote something that stood for the way I feel about things, and that it lasts, that's probably my favorite thing that I've done.
Jackson Browne
Caught between the longing for love, and the struggle for the legal tender, where the sirens sing and the church bells ring, and the junk man pounds his fender. Where the veterans dream of the fight, fast asleep at the traffic light, and the children solemnly wait for the ice cream vendor.
Jackson Browne
But when you know that you've got a real friend somewhere, suddenly all the others are so much easier to bear.
Jackson Browne
The first to come and the last to go, working for that minimum wage.
Jackson Browne
Make it on your own if you think you can.If you see somewhere to go, I understand.
Jackson Browne

Jackson Browne
So I had a couple of years of playing trumpet. I really enjoyed it, but it was not the kind of instrument you could whip out at a party. Let's face it.
Jackson Browne
Let the disappointments pass Let the laughter fill your glass Let the illusions last until they shatter Whatever you might hope to find among the thoughts that crowd your mind There won't be many that ever really matter.
Jackson Browne

Jackson Browne
I let her do some of my laundry and she slipped in a few meals in between, and next thing I remember, she was all moved in.
Jackson Browne
People know more about baseball players contracts than they do about the policies that govern the fate of our childrens lives in twenty years. Think about it. People used to say, the whole time I was growing up, Do you want to bring a child into this world? Thats pretty dire.
Jackson Browne
Take it easy, take it easyDon't let the sound of your own wheelsDrive you crazy.
Jackson Browne
Right around the end of the fifties, college students and young people in general, began to realize that this music was almost like a history of our country - this music contained the real history of the people of this country.
Jackson Browne
When you turn out the light, I've got to hand it to me. Looks like it's you and me again tonight Rosie.
Jackson Browne
I want to know what became of the changes we waited for love to bring/Were they only the fitful dreams of some greater awakening?
Jackson Browne
I love to read. I love to stretch. In the morning, I get up, and if I'm not in a hurry, I will lie on the floor on a rug, look through some books and magazines, and maybe listen to music and try to do stretching exercises to tune up.
Jackson Browne
I followed those highway signs and I've run down those thin white lines.
Jackson Browne
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels. Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields.
Jackson Browne
That folk music led to learning to play, and making things up led to what turns out to be the most lucrative part of the music business - writing, because you get paid every time that song gets played.
