Stevie Nicks Quotes

…If I had not had that abortion, I’m pretty sure there would have been no Fleetwood Mac. There’s just no way that I could have had a child then, working as hard as we worked constantly. And there were a lot of drugs, I was doing a lot of drugs … I would have had to walk away…And I knew that the music we were going to bring to the world was going to heal so many people’s hearts and make people so happy. And I thought: you know what? That’s really important. There’s not another band in the world that has two lead women singers, two lead women writers. That was my world’s mission.

There is a part of me that has to depend on fantasy, because if you can't be somewhat of a fantasy person, then you can't write

I don't want to know the reasons why,
Love keeps right on walking down the line.

We fought very hard for feminism, for women's rights. What I'm seeing today is a very opposite thing. I don't know why, but I see women being put back in the place. And I hate it. We're losing all we worked so hard for and it really bums me out.

Little girls think it's necessary to put all their business on MySpace and Facebook, and I think it's a shame...I'm all about mystery.

Dreams unwind

Blue Denim

I saw him the other day
I saw him again... yesterday
I wonder if I'll ever see him again
He reminded me of Blue Denim

[Chorus:]
Blue-gray eyes... they change with the color...
Change with the sun... they run with the sight
They change with the wind... but they're always bright
Bright eyes... Blue Denim
Bright eyes... Blue Denim

I knew him another way
I knew him another day
In some ways he'd forgotten me
In many ways he got to me
I turned away so he couldn't see
I turned away... it could never be
I never thought he could walk away
But I lost him again... yesterday

[Chorus]

Understanding me... understanding you
Is not an easy thing to do
Understanding me... and understanding you
Is not an easy thing to do

And I will never forget...
The last time I saw you
Like a photograph... so rare
Like a painting
No I will never forget...
The last time I saw you
Never to be... not you... not me
No... no...

[Chorus]

So I'm going away for a little while
To remember how to feel
And if I find the answer...
I promise you... I'll come back and get you
I'll come back and get you
I'll come back and get you

Well, did she make you cry,
Make you break down,
Shatter your illusions of love?

To the gypsy
That remains
She faces freedom
With a little fear
Well I have no fear
I have only love.

Love is only one fine star away.

"Don't Listen To Her, Listen Through Her." Stevie Nicks

There are days when I swear I could fly like an eagle
And dark desperate hours that nobody sees
My arms stretched triumphant on top of the mountain
My head in my hands down on my knees

Time cast a spell on you but you won't forget me, I know I could have loved you, but you would not let me. I'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice will haunt you, you'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you
