If you start out looking at somebody, wondering whether he's good or bad, I think you're starting out in the wrong direction. I think we're all good and we're all bad.

You don't have to be poor to need something or somebody.

Love is like a dying ember, only memories remain.

Three chords and the truth - that's what a country song is.

The life I love is making music with my friends.

A lot of country music is sad.
Willie Nelson
Image
Well the country songs themselves are three-chord stories, ballads which are mostly sad. If you are already feeling sorry for yourself when you listen to them they will take you to an even sadder place.

There's a freedom you begin to feel the closer you get to Austin, Texas.

Americans don't eat horses. They are not raised as food animals and they are treated with chemicals that render them unsafe for consumption. The regulations needed to change their status to food animals would cripple every aspect of the horse industry as we know it. Plus, it would be wrong.

I still probably smoke as much as I ever did!
Willie Nelson
Image
As adults we try to relax from the never-ending quest for reason and order by drinking a little whiskey or smoking whatever works for us, but the wisdom isn't in the whiskey or the smoke. The wisdom is in the moments when the madness slips away and we remember the basics.

There's so many things going on in the world, Babies dying. Mothers crying. How much oil is one human life worth. And what ever happened to peace on earth.

A frozen river is not a dry one, it's just a still river on the surface but is still moving, and so am my winter writing.
Willie Nelson
Image
Be careful what you dream: soon your dreams will be dreaming you.
Willie Nelson

My fans are very forgiving. So are my wives and my kids.
Willie Nelson
Image
When I see someone I think is cool, he's a pretty well-adjusted individual. He's not too affected one way or the other by what's happening, no matter what's going through his mind.
Willie Nelson

Heard you told him that you'd love him 'til the end of time. Now that's the same thing that you told me.
Willie Nelson

In church I was told that if I so much as smoked a cigarette or tasted alcohol, I’d be damned in hell for all eternity... it didn’t take long for me to start thinking that sounded all wrong... I didn’t cotton to the idea that your religion should be flaunted to other people. Your religion is for you, and is best kept close to your heart.

When I was growing up, Nashville was the place to go if you had songs to sell and thought you had talent and wanted to tour and be on Grand Ole Opry [radio show]. It was the big deal back in those days to play the Grand Ole Opry. And you could travel around the world saying, Hi, I'm Willie from the Grand Ole Opry.

The whole house came up and I came up with it... I was just praying to the Lord to take care of me.

Inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out.
