I know that some night in some bedroom soon my fingers will rift through soft clean hair songs such as no radio plays all sadness, grinning into flow.

Charles Bukowski, we will taste the islands and the sea (via floralnymph)

I am done. This is basically it. The White Stripes are done, Dead Weather and The Raconteurs are still alive and now I have this. I am not going to be in any more bands.

Jack White III (on starting bands)

The mind and body must be subjected to extreme stimulus, by means of drugs and music.

Hunter S. Thompson (via pyrrhic-victoria)

People are so fucking dumb. Nobody reads anymore, nobody goes out and looks and explores the society and culture that they were brought up in. People have attention spans of 5 seconds and as much depth as a glass of water.

David Bowie (via mols)

“The computer can’t tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what’s missing is the eyebrows.”

Frank Zappa

Film your murders like love scenes, and film your love scenes like murders.

Alfred Hitchcock (via zenthing)

The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced.

Anything that gets your blood racing is probably worth doing.

I won’t kiss you. It might get to be a habit and I can’t get rid of habits.

“The Ultimate Rule ought to be: 'If it sounds GOOD to you, it's bitchin'; if it sounds BAD to YOU, it's shitty. The more your musical experience, the easier it is to define for yourself what you like and what you don't like. American radio listeners, raised on a diet of _____ (fill in the blank), have experienced a musical universe so small they cannot begin to know what they like.”

Frank Zappa

You know I’m not big on apologizing. So I’ll just skip it if it’s all the same to you…Anyway, I’m sorry.

This is a thing called ‘Bron-Yr-Aur’. This is a name of the little cottage in the mountains of Snowdonia in Wales, and ‘Bron-Yr-Aur’ is the Welsh equivalent of the phrase ‘Golden Breast’. This is so because of its position every morning as the sun rises and it’s a really remarkable place. And so after staying there for a while and deciding it was time to leave for various reasons, we couldn’t really just leave it and forget about it. You’ve probably all been to a place like that, only we can tell you about it and you can’t tell us.

Damn, Africa. What happened?

Sylvia Plath (via incorrectsylviaplathquotes)

When I met Hendrix we just talked about the weather. When I met Jim Morrison we sat around looking at girls’ legs and discussing who had the best ass.

Patti Smith (via rogerbongwaters)

“I am one of those who like to stay late at the cafe,” the loder waitor said. “With all those who do not want to go to bed. With all those who need a light for the night.”

Ernest Hemingway, “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place”

(via thetinhouse)

“I like drinking coffee alone and reading alone. I like riding the bus alone and walking home alone. It gives me time to think and set my mind free. I like eating alone and listening to music alone. But when I see a mother with her child, a girl with her lover, or a friend laughing with their best friend, I realize that even though I like being alone, I don’t fancy being lonely. The sky is beautiful, but the people are sad. I just need someone who won’t run away.”

Find what you love and let it kill you.

Charles Bukowski (via adecentfellow)

Photography is truth. And cinema is truth 24 times per second.

Jean-Luc Godard (via 110th)

It’s strange that words are so inadequate.. Yet, like the asthmatic struggling for breath, so the lover must struggle for words.

T.S. Eliot (via girlinlondon)

When I’m on stage, I’m trying to do one thing: bring people joy.

Jimmy Page
