Tom Waits

"Everything is connected, even things that seem separate."

"The best things in life come when you're not looking for them."

"I believe in the power of forgiveness, especially forgiving yourself."

"The only failure is giving up."

"I think love is the most revolutionary act."

"You can't control what happens, only how you respond."

"The world needs more dreamers and fewer cynics."

"The piano has been drinking, not me."

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

"Closing time, open all the doors and let the music out."

"I want to take you higher."

"Everything is so strange when you're a stranger."

"It's beautiful to see you alive."

"Small town girl in a big old world."

"I'm going to be here for a thousand years."

"You can never hold back spring."

"Reality is not enough, I'm living in my dreams."

"The blue wind is coming, coming fast and strange."

"I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus."

"Time keeps on slipping into the future."

"We are all just walking each other home."

"Loyalty is what loyalty does."

"A picture is worth a thousand lies."

"The day that they come to take me away, I hope we have a lot of laughs."

"I believe that all of us have a little voice inside us that tells us what we should do."

"I'm interested in what it means to be alive."

"You try to make the best of things, but sometimes life ain't fair."

"The world hasn't changed much, but we have."

"I like to have the window open so that I don't forget I'm alive."

"There's something good in all of us, if we just look for it."
