More quotes by Laurie Anderson
Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories.
Laurie Anderson
I think illusion is one of the most interesting things that I've found to think about. Just look at yesterday, and what you were doing, and how important it was, and how nonexistent it is now! How dreamlike it is! Same thing with tomorrow. So where are we living?
Laurie Anderson
I know a lot of people who have weird specialties that are not taught in schools they're things that you learn in life.
Laurie Anderson
People who were born alone are defined by feelings like Who's gonna be with me when I die? Who will ever understand me? Will I always feel so alone? Maybe if I write a book... and you forget that that doesn't help you so much.
Laurie Anderson
The main thing that attracts me to Buddhism is probably what attracts every artist to being an artist - that it's a godlike thing. You are the ultimate authority. There is no other ultimate authority.
Laurie Anderson
All of nature talks to me - if I could just figure out what it's saying - trees are swinging in the breeze. They're talking to me. Insects are rubbing their legs together. They're all talking. They're talking to me.
Laurie Anderson
Writers want to summarize: What does this mean? What did we learn from this? That's a very 19th-century way of thinking about art, because it assumes that it should make our lives better or teach us something.
Laurie Anderson
I am a New Yorker, one I'm an artist, two I'm a woman, three.
Laurie Anderson
I don't take compliments so well. I always hang my head and shuffle and kind of try to immediately forget.
Laurie Anderson
History is an angel being blown backwards into the future
Laurie Anderson
There are plenty of ways you can play the game of fighting and really seem to be fighting without going for the jugular.
Laurie Anderson
When love is gone, there's always justice. And when justice is gone, there's always force. And when force is gone, there's always Mom. Hi, Mom!
Laurie Anderson
If there are bases on the moon, that would be the end of the moon as we know it.
Laurie Anderson
I always feel like if someone has stage fright, I really try and say, Listen, these people want you to succeed, they want to have a good evening. They want to see something really great. They don't want to see something crappy. They don't. They want to be at something really special.
Laurie Anderson
And there was a beutiful view But nobody could see Cause everybody on the island Was saying Look at me! Look at me.
Laurie Anderson
We want to dedicate our music tonight to the great opportunity that we all have to begin to truly understand the events of the past few days and to act upon them with courage and with compassion as we make our plans to live in a completely new world.
Laurie Anderson
Literature is the safe and traditional vehicle through which we learn about the world and pass on values from on generation to the next. Books save lives.
Laurie Anderson
Last night, I had that dream again. I dreamt I had to take a test, in a Dairy Queen, on another planet.
Laurie Anderson
When I was four, I was a kind of sky worshipper. I would look at the sky, and I wanted to evaporate into the sky - I loved the sky. I loved looking at the trees, just because they touched the sky.
Laurie Anderson
Long live the beauty that comes down and through and onto all of us.
Laurie Anderson
