Lou Reed

Lou Reed

Lou Reed
I think life is far too short to concentrate on your past. I rather look into the future.
Lou Reed
Between thought and expression lies a lifetime.
Lou Reed
You're going to reap just what you sow
Lou Reed
But it's the things that preceded it that made that happen, and of course now someone like me thinks, well, if I can do that... then there are a lot of other things that are possible.
Lou Reed
I'll tell ya, I'm a genuinely nice guy. I really am. A real nice guy. But I think I'm temperamental.
Lou Reed
As the dead rise to live, the live sink to die, the currents are deep and raging inside.
Lou Reed
