Tom Waits

"I don't believe the millionaires. I don't believe they are happy."

"I want you to have everything you ever dreamed of."

"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy."

"Make it shine so it looks like all the other things in this shop."

"The piano has been drinking, not me."

"You know what's weird? Day by day, nothing seems to change, but pretty soon, everything's different."

"I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble."

"Most people don't care if you're telling them the truth or if you're telling them a lie, as long as they're entertained."

"I want to take you to a place where your heart can learn to sing."

"The beauty of music is that you can feel it in your gut."

"When you're drinking in a bar and you're not feeling too well, you think everything in the bar suddenly looks strange and stupid."

"I like my music like I like my coffee: hot and ready to go."

"You have to believe the unbelievable to do the undoable."

"The world is a mysterious place and I don't think we're equipped to understand it."

"There's nothing more important than good food and good company."

"A gentleman is just a patient wolf."

"I think if you're going to do something, do it all the way."

"The heart wants what it wants, or else it does not care."

"The world is more fun when you don't know what's going to happen next."

"I'm not a prophet or a stone age man, just a mortal with potential of a superman."

"Real courage is when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and you see it through."

"Don't you know there ain't no devil, there's just God when he's drunk."

"The way you treat people is a reflection of how you feel about yourself."

"We are all just walking each other home."

"Change is a thing that happens in the dark."

"I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve."

"Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart."

"You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline."

"Make your own kind of music, even if nobody else hears it."

"Every moment that you have is a gift, even if it doesn't feel like it."
