It's odd that there is a high level of appreciation of nature. There is the aesthetic side that really loves nature and beauty.

More quotes by 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
You need music, I don't know why. It's probably one of those Joe Campbell questions, why we need ritual. We need magic, and bliss, and power, myth, and celebration and religion in our lives, and music is a good way to encapsulate a lot of it.
Jerry Garcia
Light shows are sort of a meditative kind of experience, you know. It is not like a shock.
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
The satisfaction of producing a work of art is the thing of getting off on it on some level.
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
In my own musical existence I don't feel that being a guitar player is like the best thing on earth to be. I would rather be a balanced musician. Playing in a group, I'm tending to think more about the music and less about the guitar. That's just me getting older. I'm not interested in being a virtuoso guitar player or anything like that.
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 not trying to clock scores in this lifetime, it's just that things are better now than they were like five, ten years ago. Music has gotten a lot better. There's a lot of people who are committed to - soulfully.
Jerry Garcia
Western ears have a hard time hearing anything that isn't in four-four time. A lot of cultures experience music in five-eight, for example, five-four.
Jerry Garcia
If the thunder don't get ya then the lightning will.
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
How many Beethovens are there that just for lack of the training, the world doesn't get exposed to.
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
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
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
Sometimes you have to be clever.
Jerry Garcia
We didn't invent the Grateful Dead, the crowd invented the Grateful Dead. We were just in line to see what was going to happen.
Jerry Garcia
It's much too late to do anything about rock & roll now.
Jerry Garcia
We are not completely autonomous.
Jerry Garcia
