More quotes by Nick Cave
I think there's a certain numbness in modern society, that accepts certain kinds of violence, but represses other kinds of violence.
Nick Cave
People think I'm a miserable sod but it's only because I get asked such bloody miserable questions.
Nick Cave
Death looms large I guess because it should. It's the one thing that we as human beings from birth have a right to. It's the only thing we've really got, and I don't mean to sound bleak about this, but it's a unifying factor amongst us all.
Nick Cave
Getting married, for me, was the best thing I ever did. I was suddenly beset with an immense sense of release, that we have something more important than our separate selves, and that is the marriage. There's immense happiness that can come from working towards that.
Nick Cave
Texting is apocalyptic on some level. It's a reduction of things.
Nick Cave
The way I take in the world is by seeing it that is very much evident in the songs that I write.
Nick Cave
I've watched 'Oprah Winfrey.' And I'm proud. I don't care what anybody says! I don't know whether I've watched it. I've been in the room while it's been on.
Nick Cave
I just found this world a hard place to be good in,’ says Bunny, then he closes his eyes and, with an expiration of breath, goes still.
Nick Cave
My music has to do with beauty, and it's intended to, if not lift the spirits, then be a kind of a balm to the spirits.
Nick Cave
I'm an Australian, and when I grew up much of my influences were American - blues music and country music, all that sort of thing.
Nick Cave
I write songs from the point of view I had at a timeI'm not tryingto write songs from a young person's point of view.That only ends in disaster.
Nick Cave
He who seeks, finds, and who knocks, will be let in.
Nick Cave
This is how it essentially is for Bunny Junior. He loves his dad. He thinks there is no dad better, cleverer, or more capable, and he stands there beside him with a sense of pride - he's my dad - and he also, of course, stands beside him because he has nowhere else to go.
Nick Cave
I'm a kind of hard-wired pessimist. I can't help but see the world in a certain kind of way.
Nick Cave
Sometimes the song isn't strong enough to contain the fiction, because memories are fictions.
Nick Cave
And she moves among the sparrows. And she floats upon the breeze. She moves among the flowers. She moves something deep inside of me
Nick Cave
It's an Australian thing to be dismissive. We find that endearing. Americans don't. They believe what you say.
Nick Cave
There's that kind of song, Whoah baby, I love you, which doesn't have a visual element, but a very strong emotional element, and these are the great songs to me - those ones that you put them on and they just make you feel great, or whatever.
Nick Cave
There's always pain around. That's one thing you can guarantee in life - there will always be a surplus of pain.
Nick Cave
The editing of a song is largely what makes the song for me and I think that actually if I had started going like 'I want you to burn' it would have pinned that song down to a particular thing and made that song a smaller idea than what it is. By leaving that off it's much more open, broader.
