More quotes by Jerry Garcia
If something doesn't work, it becomes obvious immediately. This just isn't going to work.
Jerry Garcia
The pursuit of happiness is such a large of concept.
Jerry Garcia
Everybody needs adventure, and everybody needs something to enlarge his or her lives.
Jerry Garcia
every mind is at least as heavy as mine
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
So we are pretty convinced we don't want to play huge stadiums unless we can play them well.
Jerry Garcia
The pursuit of happiness is an overview kind of thing. It's not in the Bill of Rights.
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
Truth is something you stumble into when you think you're going someplace else.
Jerry Garcia
And as far as I'm concerned, it's like I say, drugs are not the problem. Other stuff is the problem.
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
It's much too late to do anything about rock & roll now.
Jerry Garcia
I mean, whatever kills you kills you, and your death is authentic no matter how you die.
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
The sun will shine in my back door one day.
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
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
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
Don't tell me this town 'aint got no heart
Jerry Garcia
We would all like to be able to live an uncluttered life, a simple life, a good life.
Jerry Garcia
