Janis Joplin
Image
What we've had to do is learn to control success, put it in perspective, and not lose the essence of what we're doing - the music.
Janis Joplin

Honey, if you've had your eye on a piece of talent and that chick down the road has been getting all the action, then you know what you gotta do... Try A Little Bit Harder.
Janis Joplin
Image
I'm just doing what I wanted to and what feels right and not settling for bullshit and it worked. How can they be mad at that?
Janis Joplin
Image
Freedom is just another word for when you have NOTHING left to lose.
Janis Joplin
Image
Distance cannot kill this relationship. Time cannot breakdown anything we have. This is a relationship that I am ready to sacrifice and stand up for.
Janis Joplin
Image
If you've got a today, don't wear it tomorrow. Tomorrow never happens. It's all the same day.
Janis Joplin
Image
Hippies believe the world could be a better place. Beatniks believe things aren’t going to get better and say the hell with it, stay stoned and have a good time.
Janis Joplin
Image
As good as you've been to this world is as good as it's gonna be right back to you.
