Ronnie James Dio Quotes

Don't look behind
'Cause a tear that never dries
Can only make you blind.

Maybe if we cry together,
Maybe if we cry as one,
The tears that fall could kill the fire
And keep everyone
From Atom and Evil.

There's perfect harmony
In the rising and the falling of the sea.
And as we sail along,
I never fail to be astounded by
The things we'll do for promises
And a song.

Let me go! I've seen religion,
But the light has left me blind.
Take me back!
I must have the Bible Black.

I am not an Atheist or an anti-God person but my beliefs are that you do not have to go to a place to worship, you don't have to go to a house to do that and that God resides in you and me and so does the Devil and heaven and hell is where we live on this earth. If the God that everyone prays to is such a wonderful God he wouldn't have people suffering so horribly as they are.

I brought melody and classicalness and a great amount of musicality to this band. Ozzy began it, and he deserves all the accolades he can get because he helped invent this kind of music. What he did was absolutely right for what it was, but music grew at that point, and I think it grew beyond what Ozzy was capable of giving an audience from a musical standpoint.

It's the same old song,
You've gotta be somewhere at sometime,
And they never let you fly.
It's like broken glass,
You get cut before you see it,
So open up your eyes.

The dancer is the free spirit unfettered by chains and not confined by four walls. Noone seems to care much for those they can't control.

Most dreams are made of glass,
You throw just one stone,
And then there goes your last window.

All my life, it seems
Just a crazy dream
Reaching for somebody's star,
Like an open door
That you've passed before,
But you never had the key.

The world is full of kings and queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams,
It's heaven and hell, oh well.

All Wagner, Ring, whatever. [...] The whole Valkyrie thing was cool, 'cause it was so tied into metal. I like Wagner's strength, just the pureness of it. I like a couple of Mozart things, but mainly Wagner.

That was obvious that there are people in this world who always going to try and take advantage of you — and do take advantage of you. Those kings and queens are the people who think that they are so important, who want to take advantage of you, and that makes your life Heaven and Hell. Promises that you're going to get [is] the Heaven part, and Hell [is] when they don't come real.

But life's not a wheel
With chains made of steel,
So bless me.

Whenever you dream,
You're holding the key,
It opens the door
To let you be free.
