Lou Reed Quotes

Some people, they like to go out dancin'
And other people, they have to work ...
And there's even some evil mothers
Who'll tell you everything is just dirt
You know that women never really faint
That villains always blink their eyes, ooh
That children are the only ones who blush
And that life is just to die
But anyone who ever had a heart
They wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part
Oh, they wouldn't turn around and hate it ... They say Jane, Sweet Jane, oh woah, Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane

And I feel just like Jesus' son

When she turned blue, all the angels screamed.

If I could walk away from me

Jesse you say Common Ground
Does that include the ?

My week beats your year.

I watched it for a little while, I like to watch things on TV

And Romeo had Juliette
And Juliette had her Romeo
I'll take Manhattan in a garbage bag
With Latin written on it that says "it's hard to give a shit these days" Manhattan's sinking like a rock
Into the filthy Hudson what a shock
They wrote a book about it
They said it was like ancient Rome

You made me forget myself; I thought I was someone else, someone good.

An eye for an eye is elemental.

First thing you learn is that you've always got to wait

Of course. All the best people are.

It always bothers me to see people writing 'RIP' when a person dies. It just feels so insincere and like a cop-out. To me, 'RIP' is the microwave dinner of posthumous honors.
