More quotes by 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
Hunger in the midnight, hunger at the stroke of noon Hunger in the banquet, hunger in the bride and groom Hunger on the TV, hunger on the printed page And there's a God-sized hunger underneath the questions of the age
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
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
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
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
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
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
But when you know that you've got a real friend somewhere, suddenly all the others are so much easier to bear.
Jackson Browne
I'd have to say that my favorite thing is writing a song that really says how I feel, what I believe - and it even explains the world to myself better than I knew it.
Jackson Browne
It was a great time to be born, because I got to have my own publishing company right from the beginning, so I made more money than somebody would have doing what I did ten or fifteen years before.
Jackson Browne
Famine and disaster, right there in front of you, and the more you watch, the less you do.
Jackson Browne
The first to come and the last to go, working for that minimum wage.
Jackson Browne
Very often it's really inconvenient - who you fall in love with. You can't really control it.
Jackson Browne
I taught myself to play the piano, because I wanted to play it.
Jackson Browne
Eleven on a scale of ten, honey, let me introduce you to my redneck friend.
Jackson Browne
Also, right at that particular time in the music business, because of people like the Beatles, people began owning their own publishing. I'll just say this really quickly - they used to divide the money for the music that was written in two, just equal halves.
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
Do the steps that you've been shown, by everyone you've ever known, until the dance becomes your very own.
Jackson Browne
