More quotes by Joe Strummer

Joe Strummer
I`m kind of like one of those people that picks up small and interesting bits of wood and doesn`t want to let go of them. Or, you know, I`m fascinated with the wrapper on a sardine can. A little cuckoo.
Joe Strummer
The way you get a better world is, you don't put up with substandard anything.
Joe Strummer
For me the music is a vehicle for my lyrics. It's a chance to get some really good words across.
Joe Strummer
If you're allowed to make your mistakes, I think you should. But people don't really like hearing you admit them. Although I'd never wanted to dump on the musicians that were involved in that... Because it was not their fault.
Joe Strummer
The future is unwritten.
Joe Strummer
In fact, punk rock means exemplary manners to your fellow human beings.
Joe Strummer
I don't have any other message than don't forget you are alive
Joe Strummer
