More quotes by Townes Van Zandt
There's only two kinds of music: the blues and zippety doo-dah.
Townes Van Zandt
Humans can't live in the present, like animals do. Humans are always thinking about the future or the past. So it's a veil of tears, man. I don't know anything that's going to benefit me now, except love. I just need an overwhelming amount of love. And a nap. Mostly a nap.
Townes Van Zandt
I don't think you can ever do your best. Doing your best is a process of trying to do your best.
Townes Van Zandt

Townes Van Zandt
Human's can't live in the present as animals do they just live in the present. But human's are always thinking about the future or the past.
Townes Van Zandt
