Additional quotes by David Bowie

The wrong words make you listen in this criminal world.

- Fantastic Voyage

"It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling, "No!"
And her daddy has told her to go

But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen.

- Life on Mars?"

"This is a mad planet," David Bowie said in 1971. "It's doomed to madness."
