All that you've loved is all you own
Tom Waits
The sight of the first woman in the minimal two-piece was as explosive as the detonation of the atomic bomb by the U.S. at Bikini Island in the Marshall Isles, hence the naming of the bikini.
Tom Waits
There's nothing that makes me laugh more than being in the situation where you're not supposed to laugh. Funerals. People crying. Breaking down. Telling you their life. I'm the worst. I'm the worst at that.
Tom Waits
The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering.
Tom Waits
A gentleman is someone who can play the accordion, but doesn't.
Tom Waits
Most changes in music, most exciting things that happen in music, occur through a miscommunication between people I thought you said this. Poetry comes out of that too.
Tom Waits
It was a hubba, hubba, ding dang, baby you are just everythang.
Tom Waits
