More quotes by Jackson Browne

Jackson Browne
You would think with all the genius and the brilliance of these times, we might find a higher purpose and a better use of mind.
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
I want to find myself a girl who can show me what laughter means, and we'll fill in the missing numbers in each others paint-by-numbers dreams.
Jackson Browne
