More quotes by John Denver
No one person has to do it all but if each one of us follow our heart and our own inclinations we will find the small things that we can do to create a sustainable future and a healthy environment.
John Denver
I'm leaving on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again
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
Reach for the heavens, and hope for the future, and all that will be, not what we are.
John Denver
The nuclear arms race is like two people sitting in a pool of gasoline spending all their time making matches.

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 don't want to just entertain people. I want to touch them.
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
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
Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong
John Denver
I get an awful lot of fan mail, and I read all that I can.
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
Relax, ease back in your seats and let the music take you wherever it does.
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
Divorce is just the most awful thing in the world.
John Denver
On the road of experience, join in the living day if there's an answer, it's just that it is that way.
John Denver
