More quotes by Jackson Browne
We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.
Jackson Browne
In the end, they traded their tired wings for the resignation that living brings. And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow for the glitter and the rouge, and in the moment they were swept before the deluge.
Jackson Browne
I taught myself to play the piano, because I wanted to play it.
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 look around for the friends I used to turn to pull me through. Looking into their eyes, I see them running, too.
Jackson Browne
I'm sensitive, you know, about some things, and as some of my partners could attest to, incredibly insensitive.
Jackson Browne
And while the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it's seems, It would be easier sometimes to change the past.
Jackson Browne
Coffee in the morning, cocaine afternoons.
Jackson Browne
The biggest influence? I've had several at different times - but the biggest for me was Bob Dylan, who was a guy that came along when I was twelve or thirteen and just changed all the rules about what it meant to write songs.
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
Where the search for the truth is conducted with a wink and a nod And where power and position are equated with the grace of God These times are famine for the soul while for the senses it's a feast From the edge of my country, as far as you see, looking east
Jackson Browne
Take it easy, take it easyDon't let the sound of your own wheelsDrive you crazy.
Jackson Browne
No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown, in the end there is one dance you'll do alone.
Jackson Browne
Lighten up while you still can, don't even try to understand. Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy.
Jackson Browne
You've had to struggle, you've had to fight To keep understanding and compassion in sight You could be laughing at me, you've got the right But you go on smiling so clear and so bright
Jackson Browne
Oh Lord, are there really people starving still?
Jackson Browne
Into a dancer you have grown from the seeds somebody else has sown.
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
As far as those kinds of things, I also played at the concert to call for the release of Nelson Mandela when he was a political prisoner in South Africa. We were celebrating his 70th birthday and calling for his release.
Jackson Browne
And my dad wanted me to play the trumpet because that's what he liked. His idol was Louis Armstrong. My dad thought my teeth came together in a way that was perfect for playing the trumpet.
Jackson Browne
