David Bowie Quotes

Let's dance for fear your grace should fall Let's dance for fear tonight is all

This is Major Tom to Ground Control.
I'm stepping through the door,
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way.
And the stars look very different today.<p>For here
Am I sitting in a tin can,
Far above the world.
Planet Earth is blue,
And there's nothing I can do.

I had to resign myself, many years ago, that I'm not too articulate when it comes to explaining how I feel about things. But my music does it for me, it really does. There, in the chords and melodies, is everything I want to say. The words just jolly it along. It's always been my way of expressing what for me is inexpressible by any other means. What is very enlightening for me right now is that I sense that I'm arriving at a place of peace with my writing that I've never experienced before. I think I'm going to be writing some of the most worthwhile things that I've ever written in the coming years. I'm very confident and trusting in my abilities right now. But I've got to think of myself as the luckiest guy. Robert Johnson only had one album's worth of work as his legacy. That's all that life allowed him.

And when the clothes are strewn,
Don't be afraid of the room.
Touch the fullness of her breast,
Feel the love of her caress...
She will be your living end.

- Lady Grinning Soul

The only art I’ll ever study is stuff that I can steal from.

The answer that I’d give you will cause such turmoil in your soul that I might have to politely and reluctantly not answer that question.

"I don't know how many times someone has come up to me and said, "Hey, Lets dance!". I hate dancing. God, it's stupid."

There's a taste in my mouth and it's no taste at all.

- Queen Bitch

I get offered so many bad movies. And they're all raging queens or transvestites or Martians.

A song has to take on character, shape, body and influence people to an extent that they use it for their own devices. It must affect them not just as a song, but as a lifestyle.

Music has both been my doorway to perception and the house I live in

See these eyes so red Red like jungle burning bright Those who feel me near Pull the blinds and change their minds.

All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
I've had my share
I'll help you with the pain

- Rock and Roll Suicide

It's always time to question what has become standard and established.

It’s a compulsive need to wreck everything. You might notice there’s a pattern of stripping down and building back up again throughout my life. I guess that’s how some of us conduct our lives.
