Waiting for the winds of change to sweep the clouds away. Waiting for the rainbow's end to cast its gold your way ... You don't get something for nothing. You can't have freedom for free
We're only immortal for a limited time.
I love jokes as much as anyone, but I don't want to hear my snail jokes every day. But I might want to hear a good song every day.
It's always a happy day when YYZ appears on our luggage tags.
A spirit with a vision is a dream with a mission.
Living in the limelight: the universal dream for those who wish to SEEM. Those who wish to BE, must put aside the alienation, get on with the fascination, the real relation, the underlying theme.
You can't get wise with sleep still in your eyes no matter what your dream might be.
Playing a three-hour Rush show is like running a marathon while solving equations.
Live for yourself there's no one else more worth living for.
How can anybody be enlightened? Truth is after all so poorly lit
I can worship Nature, and that fulfills my need for miracles and beauty. Art gives a spiritual depth to existence -- I can find worlds bigger and deeper than my own in music, paintings, and books. And from my friends and family I receive the highest benediction, emotional contact, and personal affirmation. I can bow before the works of Man, from buildings to babies, and that fulfills my need for wonder. I can believe in the sanctity of Life, and that becomes the Revealed Word, to live my life as I believe it should be, not as I'm told to by self-appointed guides.
What is a master but a master student? And if that's true, then there's a responsibility on you to keep getting better and to explore avenues of your profession.
You can surrender without a prayer, but never really pray without surrender. You can fight without ever winning, but never ever win without a fight.
All the world's indeed a stage And we are merely players Performers and portrayers Each another's audience outside the gilded cage
