You know, life is what you make of it- so beautiful or so what.
Paul Simon
I'm laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone, Going home, where the new york city winters aren't bleedin' me.
Paul Simon
If you'll be my body guard, I can be your long lost pal.
Paul Simon
I think my hight had the most significant single effect on my existence, aside from my brain. In fact, it's part of an inferior-superior syndrome. I think I have an inferior brain and an inferior stature, if you really want to get brutal about it.

Paul Simon
I didn't get how big it was until I went home, turned on the television and saw it on all the news, and later that night on the front pages of all the newspapers. Then I got it.
Paul Simon
Two times two is twenty-two, four times four is forty-four. When numbers get serious, they leave a mark on your door.
Paul Simon
Take two bodies and you twirl them into one, their hearts and their bones, and they won't come undone.
Paul Simon
Music is forever music should grow and mature with you, following you right on up until you die.
Paul Simon
Every time the industry gets powerful, and corporate thinking dominates what the music is, then the music really pales.
Paul Simon
You have underestimated my power, as you will shortly discover.
Paul Simon
It was the year of the Beatles, it was the year of the Stones, it was 1964.
