But it's not only: What are you going to do about touring, it's: What are you going to do with your life? Is there a point to what we do? I think there is. Making music, creating beautiful things. We have to be in love with the good and the beautiful. If we are not, then you're in a nihilistic state.
Lou Reed

Lou Reed
Teach them about anger, the sin that comes with dawning. Teach them about flowers, and the beauty of forgiveness.
Lou Reed
You can't beat two guitars, bass, and drums.
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
All the people have gone to war leaving no interrogator to mind.
Lou Reed
Eve kissed Able, that's how he got murdered by Cain.
Lou Reed
Between thought and expression lies a lifetime.
Lou Reed
I like druggy downtown kids who spray paint walls and trains. I like their lack of training, their primitive technique. I think it hurts you, when you stay too long in school.
Lou Reed
You won't see my parents honored on any stamps.
Lou Reed
When I saw that combination of grace and power, the fast and the soft, the yin and the yang, that's what I'd been looking for.
Lou Reed
I dreamed that I was young and smart, and it was not a waste. I dreamed that there was a point of life, and to the human race.
Lou Reed
There are problems in these times, but none of them are mineI'm beginning to see the light
Lou Reed
