John Denver
Reach for the heavens, and hope for the future, and all that will be, not what we are.
John Denver

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
The future of life on Earth depends on our ability to see the sacred where others see only the common
John Denver
Many things made me become a vegetarian, among them the higher food yield as a solution to world hunger.
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
For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers, come and stand beside me, we can find a better way.
John Denver
Romance lasts forever, love don't fade away. They may take away our future, but they can't stop yesterday.
John Denver
Celebrate Earth Day every day.
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
