Stevie Nicks Quotes

Don't listen to her listen through her.

When I thought I was dying in rehab in 1994, 'I Won't back Down' was my mantra. It lifted my up out of the pain and made me fight through it. 'The Waiting'... summed up my life. We can't stand waiting, we rock 'n' roll men and women. Tom Petty's songs are like a great book that you revisit when you need help. His songs make me better.

…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.

Thunder only happens when it's raining,
Players only love you when they're playing,
Say, women, they will come and they will go,
When the rain washes you clean you'll know.

Is love so fragile,
And the heart so hollow,
Shatter with words,
Impossible to follow,
You're saying I'm fragile, I try not to be,
I search only, for something I can't see.

A wound gets worse when it's treated with neglect.

It's just about a lady who's a goddess of steeds and a maker of birds.

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

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

Your graciousness is what carries you. It isn't how old you are, how beautiful you are, or how short your skirt is. What it is, is what comes out of your heart. If you are gracious, you have won the game.

No one knows how I feel,
What I say unless you read between my lines,
One man walked away from me
First he took my hand, take me home.

Love is only one fine star away.

Without A Leg To Stand On

I got nothin' but time
No time for living
I've been everywhere
It's all the same
I just need somebody
That I can lean on
Nobody wants to keep you
When you're in love with the game

But you know that I can't let go
And there ain't nothin' left to show
Got the feeling I can't say no without a
leg to stand on

There's so many fine people
That I believe in
They don't care where I'm going
It's not their show
I got nothin' but time
No time for living
I used to be somebody
But that was so long ago

Look around but you won't see me
Just a picture of what I used to be
There ain't nothin' to set me free without a
leg to stand on

But you know that I can't let go
And there aint nothin' left to show
Got the feelin' I can't say no
Without a leg to stand on

I have no fear, I have only love

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