Additional quotes by Elton John

But I’d rather try and build a bridge to someone on the opposite side to me than put up a wall.

For this dark and lonely room
Projects a shadow cast in gloom.
And my eyes are mirrors
Of the world outside.
Thinking of the way
That the wind can turn the tide.
And these shadows turn
From purple into grey.

AIDS might as well stand for “Appalling Indifference to the Disenfranchised in Society.
