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.

We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.
Jackson Browne
Image
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'm sensitive, you know, about some things, and as some of my partners could attest to, incredibly insensitive.
Jackson Browne
Image
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
Image
Let the disappointments pass, let the laughter fill your glass.
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

I followed those highway signs and I've run down those thin white lines.
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.

Do the steps that you've been shown, by everyone you've ever known, until the dance becomes your very own.

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.

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.
