More quotes by Jerry Garcia
To get really high is to forget yourself. And to forget yourself is to see everything else. And to see everything else is to become an understanding molecule in evolution, a conscious tool of the universe.
Jerry Garcia
We're not uncomfortable with it, and we've already been through enough of the music business where I'm not really worried that commercial success is going to in some way - we're already past saving, you know what I mean? It's too late for us.
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
The real problems are cultural. The problems of the people who take drugs as a cultural trap - I think there's a real problem there, the crack stuff, the hopelessness of the junkie. The urban angst.
Jerry Garcia
Right now, America is under the gun. It's being tested and is being co-opted in a big way.
Jerry Garcia
One of the things that's attractive about cyberspace is that it can be construed as no threat. If you see it through the video game keyhole, the amusement keyhole, the entertainment keyhole, it is no threat. If you see it through the LSD keyhole, the consciousness-expanding keyhole, it's like electronic drugs: it is a threat.
Jerry Garcia
And the live show is still our main thing.
Jerry Garcia
The point is there is more information now then you can pass along comfortably in an oral tradition, say a strictly speaking culture. That is a problem.
Jerry Garcia
The bigger issue, was the whole takeover of the food industry by big corporations.
Jerry Garcia
Everybody needs adventure, and everybody needs something to enlarge his or her lives.
Jerry Garcia
It's odd that there is a high level of appreciation of nature. There is the aesthetic side that really loves nature and beauty.
Jerry Garcia
Some things may work, but they definitely won't work every time. Some things may work at various times.
Jerry Garcia
Done time in the lock-up, done time on the streets. Done time on the upswing, and time in defeat. I know what I'm askin'. I know it's a lot. Just to say that I love you. Believe it or not.
Jerry Garcia
In folk music, I've always been fond of the fragment. The song that has one verse. And you don't know anything about the characters, you don't know what they're doing, but they're doing something important. I love that. I'm really a sucker for that kind of song.
Jerry Garcia
I have always had this basic biological question in terms of evolution, if the drive to evolution is to like survive. An organism that survives well, there is really no need for consciousness in there.
Jerry Garcia
Now there is no place you can go where you don't hear certain types of music.
Jerry Garcia
What we need is something, a definition of a human, starting from the ground up, so that the suitable moral structure that goes around it makes sense. The context has to come from the human first, rather than bits and pieces of fragments of old religion and all of the old moral superstructure, whatever it used to be.
Jerry Garcia
The sun will shine in my back door one day.
Jerry Garcia
In reality everybody has got musical thoughts. If you are able to overcome the part of it which is muscle training, which is what most musical playing actually is, performance actually is, is muscle training, and you are able to convert your ideas directly into music, you're a musician, too.
Jerry Garcia
I have all the patience in the world about Sirens. For me it's not a Grateful Dead project, it's a Me project.
Jerry Garcia
