An artist is a man who says a difficult thing in a simple way

There is something about writing poetry that brings a man close to the cliff's edge.

It's not the large things that send a man to the madhouse... no, it's the continuing series of small tragedies... not the death of his love but the shoelace that snaps with no time left.

The whole LSD, STP, marijuana, heroin, hashish, prescription cough medicine crowd suffers from the "Watchtower" itch: you gotta be with us, man, or you're out, you're dead. This pitch is a continual and seeming MUST with those who use the stuff. It's no wonder they keep getting busted.

I am not a man who looks for solutions in God or politics. If somebody else wants to do the dirty work and create a better world for us and he can do it, I will accept it.

some men never die and some men never live but we're all alive tonight.

Many a good man has been put under the bridge by a woman.

I've found out why men sign their names to their works- not that they created them but more than the others did not.

I am a dolt of a man, easily made happy or even stupidly happy almost without cause and left alone I am mostly content.
