Faith is an island in the setting sun, But proof is the bottom line for everyone.
Paul Simon
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away.
Paul Simon
Much of songwriting is simply a mystery.
Paul Simon
The dialogue between what's going on in the world and what's going on internally seems to be a natural thing - well, it's natural to me, anyway, to have these thoughts.

I sort of recognize it, as opposed to shaping it. Oh, that's a good idea, that's a good line. I wonder where I can use that. And when you get into a rhyme group like 'not,' you got a lot of rhymes, you got a lot of choices. The more you do it, the luckier you get.
Paul Simon
All lies and jests, still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.
Paul Simon
The more I get to thinking, the less I tend to laugh.
Paul Simon
I'm more interested in what I discover than what I invent.

Paul Simon
No one dare disturb the sound of silence...
Paul Simon
All I've got to do today is smile.

Paul Simon
When I was 15, I made a solo record. It made Artie very unhappy. He looked upon it as something of a betrayal.
Paul Simon
I don't feel any pressure from fans. But I'm always in some kind of state of emotional turmoil. I would not describe myself as happy-go-lucky. That's not to say that I'm not happy.
Paul Simon
I'm going to Graceland, for reasons I cannot explain. There's some part of me wants to see Graceland. And I may be advised to defend every love, every ending, or maybe there's no obligations now. Maybe I've a reason to believe we all will be received in Graceland.
Paul Simon
The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenements halls and whispered in the sounds of silence.
Paul Simon
It's actually very difficult to make something both simple and good.
