Tom Waits

"I think record collecting is a good thing."

"I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides."

"Real estate is the closest thing to the profane that you can invest in."

"I got a bad liver and a broken heart."

"The harder the struggle, the more glorious the triumph."

"Love is a good thing."

"Don't call me crazy."

"Every day I wake up and make my choice to be happy."

"You have to know your limitations."

"What's he building in there?"

"I am not a booking agent. I just play the songs I wrote."

"I like to sing and I like to drink."

"The smells, the tastes, the textures of food can bring back the memory of a man's body."

"I've always believed that if you leave the stage in a better state than when you came on, you've done your job."

"Don't go away mad, just go away."

"I would rather feel bad in a good way than good in a bad way."

"Close your eyes and think of England."

"I don't believe anything, but I don't believe in nothing either."

"Frank's wild years."

"Jesus gonna be here, but not for long."

"You can run but you cannot hide from the gaze of the dead."

"I prefer the term 'exotic' to 'foreign'."

"I'm going to spill the beans on you."

"We have become a nation of sheep, and the wolves are in charge."

"You're the saddest man I have ever met."

"You always know the truth, because when you hear it, it sounds true."

"Let's go out tonight and find some pretty ladies."

"I'm going to love you till the heavens stop the rain."

"Heartattack and vine."

"The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong in the broken places."
