Janis Joplin
I just want to feel as much as I can, it's what soul is all about.
Janis Joplin
Why should I hold back now and sound mediocre, just so I can sound mediocre twenty years from now?
Janis Joplin
Life is too damn short and [screwed] up to go through it silently loving someone and never telling them how you feel. [Screw] the consequences, [screw] the implications of the actions, to hell with it all... whatever happens as a result is better than the nothingness that is inevitable with silence.
Janis Joplin
I talk to the audience, look into their eyes. I need them and they need me.
Janis Joplin
I believe the only people who truly experience and test the application of equality are twins.
Janis Joplin
You can feel all things at once, so why not wear all things at once?
Janis Joplin
