Moby

When I look for my quotes of the day, I just randomly search thru the internet and let me eyes fall upon a person.  If the quotes catch my eye, here they are posted.  Today's random search takes me to Moby...

 

“I don't really trust men who claim they are not interested in porn.”

 

“It's their security blanket, ... We feed them … fish, vitamins and medicine.”

"I had an epiphany a few years ago where I was out at a celebrity party and it suddenly dawned on me that I had yet to meet a celebrity who is as smart and interesting as any of my friends."

 

"I learned in the last few years that it's really unhappy and really unsustainable to try and base your well being on something as arbitrary as record sale and critical acclaim and the interests of the public. All of those things are so fickle. So my approach now to music is I want to make records that I love, and I hope that other people love them, then that's OK."

Dr. Joyce Brothers

"Trust your hunches. They're usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level."

  – Dr. Joyce Brothers

Carlos Santana

This man has been my idol even before I picked up the guitar. So of course he get's a shout out on my quotes of the day.

“Your wrinkles either show that you're nasty, cranky, and senile, or that you're always smiling.”

 

“I'm laughing because I know the secret of life. And the secret of life is that I have validated my existence. I know that I am worth more than my house, my bank account, or any physical thing.”

 

“When I hit that note - if I hit it correctly - I'm just as important as Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, or anybody. Because when I hit that note, I hit the umbilical cord of anybody who is listening.”

 

“Life, at least with us, doesn't need to fall like a military drill. The way we do things, we don't need windows and doors and ceilings. Things just happen when they happen.”

 

“The Devil is like a strainer that separates the mud from the gold.”

 

“When my father passed away two or three years ago, I didn't listen to music for four days - that's a long time for me.”
