More quotes by John Denver
Faith is a kind of knowing it is different from hope. My faith is that life is purposeful of that I'm sure. There is a God, there is intelligence, there is consciousness. And behind all of this, there is incredible compassion.
John Denver
The nuclear arms race is like two people sitting in a pool of gasoline spending all their time making matches.
John Denver
Aspen is the life to live, see how much there is to give. See how strongly you believe, see how much you may receive.
John Denver
Divorce is just the most awful thing in the world.
John Denver
I believe that we are here for each other, not against each other. Everything comes from an understanding that you are a gift in my life - whoever you are, whatever our differences.
John Denver
I would so much like young people to have a sense of the gift that they are. Not many of them feel like that.
John Denver
There's one piece of advice my dad gave me when he dropped me off at college. He said, You've got the talent. You can sing and play guitar. That doesn't make you any better than anyone else..
John Denver
Whatever meaning 'Annie's Song' had for me on a personal level, there was also a larger context. It could just as easily have been about love for a brother. Or a father. Or a friend. It could just as easily have been a prayer.
John Denver
There's an aspect of human nature in which we want to think we're better than somebody else. They're a different color. They speak a different language. They have a different name for the Creator. Whatever it is, that makes it okay for me to hate them, to try to get some of their land or some of their resources.
John Denver
Kiss me, and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me. Hold me like you'll never let me go.
John Denver
Imagine what it might do to the human spirit to know that we have conquered hunger as a world wide societal issue?
John Denver
I would make my job a work of art. I would like whatever it is that I'm doing - everyone's experience of me, everyone's interaction with me, everyone's discussion, conversation, relationship with me - [to be] an event within which they get to see who they are. I would make of my life a work of art.
John Denver
I am the hawk and there's blood in my feathers, but time is still turning they soon will be dry. And all those who see me and all who believe in me, share in the freedom I feel when I fly.
John Denver
What one man can do is dream. What one man can do is love. What one man can do is change the world.
John Denver
I get an awful lot of fan mail, and I read all that I can.
John Denver
Reach for the heavens, and hope for the future, and all that will be, not what we are.
John Denver
If as an environmentalist we are against anything... it is against the arrogance of power and the most obcene ways it shows up, which is in greed.
John Denver
The best thing you have to offer the world is yourself. You don't have to copy anyone else. If you do, you're second best. To achieve success is to be first, and that's being yourself.
John Denver
The Earth is our mother just turning around, with her trees in the forest and roots underground. Our father above us whose sigh is the wind, paint us a rainbow without any end.
John Denver
To live on the land we must learn from the ocean, to be true as the tide and free as the wind swell.
John Denver
