Lou Reed
Let's do what you fear most That from which you recoil But which still makes your eyes moist
Lou Reed
The rich son waits for his father to die, the poor just drink and cry.
Lou Reed
You're a musician: You play. That's what you do.
Lou Reed
When he beat my mother it made me so mad.
Lou Reed
I'm tearing down Route 80 East, the sun's on my right side. I'm drunk, but my vision's good.

As the dead rise to live, the live sink to die, the currents are deep and raging inside.
Lou Reed
