More quotes by Johnny Cash

Image
Of emotions, of love, of breakup, of love and hate and death and dying, mama, apple pie, and the whole thing. It covers a lot of territory, country music does.
Johnny Cash
Image
I could wrap myself in the warm cocoon of a song and go anywhere.
Johnny Cash
Image
All your life, you will be faced with a choice. You can choose love or hate…I choose love.

Death and hell are never full, and neither are men's eyes.

There's no way around grief and loss: you can dodge all you want, but sooner or later you just have to go into it, through it, and, hopefully, come out the other side. The world you find there will never be the same as the world you left.

So we raise her up every morning, we take her down every night, we don't let her touch the ground and we fold her up right. On second thought, I do like to brag 'cause I'm mighty proud of the Ragged Old Flag.

It's like a novelist writing far out things. If it makes a point and makes sense, then people like to read that. But if it's off in left field and goes over the edge, you lose it. The same with musical talent, I think.
Johnny Cash

Stop your ears and close your eyes and try to find the face of love.

When you sing, you pray twice.

We'll all be equal under the grass, and God's got a heaven for country trash.

I love songs about horses, railroads, land, Judgment Day, family, hard times, whiskey, courtship, marriage, adultery, separation, murder, war, prison, rambling, damnation, home, salvation, death, pride, humor, piety, rebellion, patriotism, larceny, determination, tragedy, rowdiness, heartbreak and love. And Mother. And God.

Everybody was wearing rhinestones, all those sparkly clothes, and cowboy boots. I decided to wear a black shirt and pants and see if I could get by with it. I did and I've worn black clothes ever since.

When I get an idea for a song it would gel in my mind for weeks or months, and then one day just like that, Ill write it.

I knew I wanted to sing when I was a very small boy. When I was probably 4 years old. My mother played a guitar and I would sit with her and she would sing and I learned to sing along with her.

I learn from my mistakes. It’s a very painful way to learn, but without pain, the old saying is, there’s no gain.
