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 wear black for those who never read or listen to the words that Jesus said, about the road to happiness, through love and charity.
Johnny Cash
Image
I wear black because I'm comfortable in it. But then in the summertime when it's hot I'm comfortable in light blue.
Johnny Cash
Image
I had an empathy for prisoners and did concerts for them back when I thought that it would make a difference - you know? - that they really were there to be rehabilitated.
Johnny Cash
Image
I'm very shy really. I spend a lot of time in my room alone reading or writing or watching television.

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.

When I was 17 - 16, my father and I cut wood all day long and I was swinging that crosscut saw and hauling wood.

San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell. May your walls fall and may I live to tell.

I'm not bitter. Why should I be bitter? I'm thrilled to death with life.

Life is rough so you gotta be tough.
Johnny Cash
Image
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.
Johnny Cash
Image
He drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hand, and tried to tell himself at last he had become a man.
Johnny Cash

You know, the man's best friend is his dog... if he's got nothing else.
Johnny Cash

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.
Johnny Cash

I don't give up because I don't give up. I don't believe in it.
Johnny Cash
Image
How well I have learned that there is no fence to sit on between heaven and hell. There is a deep, wide gulf, a chasm, and in that chasm is no place for any man.

What I said, what are you [Rick Rubin] going to do with me that nobody else has been able to do to sell records with me?
Johnny Cash
Image
Rick Rubin said, well, I don't know that we will sell records. He said, I would like you to go with me and sit in my living room with a guitar and two microphones and just sing to your heart's content everything you ever wanted to record. I said, that sounds good to me. So I did that. And day after day, three weeks, I sang for him.
