More quotes by 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
I'm shopping around for something to do that no one will like.
Jerry Garcia
Truth is something you stumble into when you think you're going someplace else.
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
But hey, when you live in Watts, you need a little smack to get by, you know what I mean? You need something soft and comfortable in your life, 'cause you're not going to get it from what's around you. And society isn't going to give it to you.
Jerry Garcia
Now there is no place you can go where you don't hear certain types of music.
Jerry Garcia
And the live show is still our main thing.
Jerry Garcia
I think the Muslim religious is a little too tight. It doesn't fit humans. Humans can't possibly fit into it, so there are a lot of really unhappy people, terribly repressed. It is a religion that works against you because the template don't fit. It's not human, you know.
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
This virtual reality stuff is the technological equivalent, really, of psychedelics.
Jerry Garcia
At some point or another, our boundaries run into the boundaries of the exterior reality. Like we run into laws and other things that we don't own or don't have control over.
Jerry Garcia
What we do is as American as lynch mobs. America has always been a complex place.
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 need to have many points of reference many places to touch down and make contact with.
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
If we had any nerve at all, if we had any real balls as a society, or whatever you need, whatever quality you need, real character, we would make an effort to really address the wrongs in this society, righteously.
Jerry Garcia
Either you were a hoodlum, or you were a puddle on the sidewalk.
Jerry Garcia
Run faster, jump higher, reach farther, and you'll always win! live life expecting the worst, hoping for the best, and living for the future! Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us.
Jerry Garcia
I think that America is in danger of losing its adventurous spirit in the cause of some kind of illusion of safety, or substitute of law and order there.
Jerry Garcia
