- And maybe she's not merely heartless and dishonest. Maybe she also figured out that being with you might just feel a lot like being alone because you really struggle to be present. You're very hesitant to make your true needs, opinions, and feelings known. You don't really want to be seen or heard, you want to remain hidden. You want to get swept away in a fantasy without ever having to show up. - Ask Polly
- But when one plus one equals three, that's when your life changes, and you see everything new, and these are days when you are visited by visions, when the world around you brings down the spirit and you feel blessed to be alive. It is the essential equation of love. There is no love without one plus one equaling three. It's the essential equation of art. It's the essential equation of rock 'n' roll. It's the reason the universe will never be fully comprehensible. It's the reason Louie Louie will never be fully comprehensible. And it's the reason true rock 'n' roll, and true rock 'n' roll bands, will never die. - Springsteen
- Come, my friends, / 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world. / Push off, and sitting well in order smite / The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds / To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths / Of all the western stars, until I die.
- Honest, steadfast, and true. - Springsteen
- I am today. I am yesterday. I am tomorrow. Undergoing my repeated births I remain powerful and young.
- Meaningless distraction drains you of the energy you should be placing in more serious things or using to simply enjoy the rewards of your labor. - Springsteen
- Often contradiction is the clearest way to truth.
- You don't create your life, then live it. You create it by living it.
- You have to decide who you are, and force the world to deal with you, not its idea of you." - James Baldwin
