More quotes by Jerry Garcia
The nature of what we're doing is something, which is by its very nature, is non-formulaic. There's no way that you can make it happen by intention alone. It's something that you have to sort of allow it to happen, and you have to allow for it to happen.
Jerry Garcia
You don't want to be the best at what you do, you want to be the only one.
Jerry Garcia
Listening. That's what music is about. You hear it. And I'd listen to it and something would move me one way or another and I would try and play it.
Jerry Garcia
If the thunder don't get ya then the lightning will.
Jerry Garcia
I read somewhere that 77 per cent of all the mentally ill live in poverty. Actually, I'm more intrigued by the 23 per cent who are apparently doing quite well for themselves.
Jerry Garcia
We've been trying to sell out for years, nobody's buying!
Jerry Garcia

Jerry Garcia
The Japanese are hard to figure out.
Jerry Garcia
If you think of music as a language, the space part is where you throw out all the syntax.
Jerry Garcia
The world has to tell us. In other words, we don't have an agenda or a battle plan or a map or a direction or anything. We're just going along, and our world is telling us.
Jerry Garcia
I am not a keyboard person. The mouse is better.
Jerry Garcia
You have to get past the idea that music has to be one thing. To be alive in America is to hear all kinds of music constantly: radio, records, churches, cats on the street, everywhere music. And with records, the whole history of music is open to everyone who wants to hear it.
Jerry Garcia
You have to be ready, and also you have to discard notions that are fondly held by a lot of musicians, about sequences and notes and about scales and musical systems as a whole. If you think of music as a language, the space part is where you throw out all the syntax.
Jerry Garcia
Now there is no place you can go where you don't hear certain types of music.
Jerry Garcia
The satisfaction of producing a work of art is the thing of getting off on it on some level.
Jerry Garcia
American society has gone completely into denial.
Jerry Garcia
With the recognition comes additional responsibility, because then we're no longer a one-shot. We're now part of the environment.
