Jerry Garcia
Everybody needs adventure, and everybody needs something to enlarge his or her lives.
Jerry Garcia
I am not a keyboard person. The mouse is better.
Jerry Garcia
Nothing left to do but smile.

The only way things work around here is if everybody wants it to work. If everybody wants it to work, then it has a prayer. Even then, there's no guarantee. But at least it has a prayer.

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
Each person makes their own decision about what it is that is happening, whether they like it or don't like it, whether they want to lend their energy to it or not or what, you know.
Jerry Garcia

What we do is as American as lynch mobs. America has always been a complex place.
Jerry Garcia
I like all the kinds of music I've been into. I'm certainly not a purist in that I will only play country licks in a country song or blues licks in blues stuff. The thing I would like to be able to do is to make the music sound right no matter what it is. If somebody else wants to have a label for it, then that's their business.
Jerry Garcia
