Image
love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.
Jeff Buckley
Image
To do something that will just fly away is kind of special. Every time somebody tell you they love you, that I love you flies away, and you wait until the next one.
Jeff Buckley
Image
I want to be ripped apart by music.
Jeff Buckley
Image
Be seriously involved with growing, with your own development, and never fear. Be the kind of person who is naturally powerful, positive, ingenious, open, to the highest degree. Be the best. No negativity. No weakness. No acquiescence to fear or disaster. No errors of ignorance. No evasion to reality.
Jeff Buckley
Image
I just want to have a completely adventurous, passionate, weird life.
Jeff Buckley
Image
I like a spirituality with a God that knows how to drive a car, that knows how to take his girl to the dance club, dance all night, have a little drink, kiss the kid when they come back in and go to sleep. God doesn't need a chauffeur-- he needs to drive himself.
Jeff Buckley
Image
I've always felt that the quality of the voice is where the real content of a song lies. Words only suggest an experience, but the voice is that experience.
Jeff Buckley
Image
I'm lying in my bed, blanket is warm, this body will never keep me safe from harm. I still feel your hair, black ribbons of coal. Touch my skin to keep me whole. If only you'd come back to me. To feel you at my side, wouldn't need no Mojo Pin to keep me satisfied.

I sacrificed my anonymity for my father, whereas he sacrificed me for his fame.
Jeff Buckley
Image
Time to write and sing, to laugh, to listen, to discover, to cry, to love music.
Jeff Buckley
Image
Music is my mother and my father it is my work and my rest...my blood...my compass...my love.
Jeff Buckley
Image
Your soul can fly outward, stringed to your ribcage like a shimmering kite in the shape of an open hand. Be still and listen to the evidence of your own holiness.
Jeff Buckley
Image
Kiss me, please kiss me But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation You know it makes me so angry 'cause i know that in time I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye.
Jeff Buckley
Image
Grace is what matters. In anything. Especially life, especially growth, tragedy, pain, love, death. About people, that's what matters. That's a quality I admire very greatly. It keeps you from reaching for the gun too quickly it keeps you from destroying things too foolishly it sort of keeps you alive and keeps you open for more understanding.

Sensitivity isn't about being wimpy. It's about being so painfully aware that a flea landing on a dog is like a sonic boom
Jeff Buckley
Image
I'm convinced I got signed because of who I am. And it makes me sad.
Jeff Buckley

If you do anything regularly for a while, sooner or later the weirdoes will show up.
Jeff Buckley

In love we are all brothers and sisters
Jeff Buckley

We are born to live, we are born to understand, we are born to carry a cursed pattern and be transformed by pain.

Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run
