Nick Cave
No wonder sorrow doesn’t smile much. No wonder sadness is so sad.

Nick Cave
When I start writing songs, and they come easily, I'm always very suspicious. That usually means they're reminding me of something I've already done before. When the songs become unsettling, and I feel anxious about what I'm doing, that usually means it's going to be more interesting later on when we actually record the stuff.
Nick Cave

Nick Cave

Nick Cave

Nick Cave
I don't believe in an interventionist God
Nick Cave
After a while, you just don't do things you don't wanna do - that's the great freedom you get, the older you get. You learn what to do and what not to do, and what will be a waste of time and what won't be a waste of time.
Nick Cave
Your limitations make you the wonderful disaster you most probably are.
Nick Cave
He who seeks, finds, and who knocks, will be let in.
Nick Cave
Said 2,000 years of Christian history, baby And you ain't learned to love me yet?
