More quotes by Tom Waits

Tom Waits
I don't go to church on Sunday, don't get on my knees to pray, or memorize the books of the Bible, I got my own special way
Tom Waits
Everything is explained now. We live in an age when you say casually to somebody 'What's the story on that?' and they can run to the computer and tell you within five seconds. That's fine, but sometimes I’d just as soon continue wondering. We have a deficit of wonder right now.
Tom Waits
Come down off the cross, we could use the wood.
Tom Waits

Tom Waits
I'm usually more concerned with how things sound than how they look on the page.
Tom Waits
There's truths there that spiral out of what appears to be just a word game. That's what I find mystifying about the meanings of things: they kind of unscrew themselves from the practical words.
Tom Waits
George Bush is a fan of mine, he came to see me in the Seventies. His coke dealer brought him.
Tom Waits
I walked 500 miles just to see a halo, when I opened my eyes I was blind as can be.
Tom Waits
She's a shiksa goddess and a trapeze artist, all of that. She can fix the truck...she's outta this world...she's bold, inventive and fearless. That's who you wanna go in the woods with, right? Somebody who finishes your sentences for you.
Tom Waits
I hope I'm becoming more eccentric. More room in the brain.
Tom Waits
The things you absorb you will ultimately secrete. It's all out there and available for you to enjoy...and be nourished by.
Tom Waits
She pulls a razor from her boot and a thousand victims fall around her feet.
Tom Waits
George Burns was a Vaudeville performer I particularly loved.
