More quotes by 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
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.
Jackson Browne
Don't confront me with my failures, I had not forgotten them.
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 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
Into a dancer you have grown from the seeds somebody else has sown.
Jackson Browne
I followed those highway signs and I've run down those thin white lines.
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
Somewhere between the time you arrive and the time you go may lie a reason you were alive, but you'll never know.
Jackson Browne
I taught myself to play the piano, because I wanted to play 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
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
I told my father I wanted to play the banjo, and so he saved the money and got ready to give me a banjo for my next birthday, and between that time and my birthday, I lost interest in the banjo and was playing guitar.
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
Do the steps that you've been shown, by everyone you've ever known, until the dance becomes your very own.
Jackson Browne
Now, guitar was pretty cool. Everybody knew something on the guitar. So I wanted to play guitar, but I told my dad if he wanted me to keep studying something, Id like to study piano.
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
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels. Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields.
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
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
