    Johnny Cash
    “There's unconditional love there. You hear that phrase a lot but it's real with me and her [June Carter]. She loves me in spite of everything, in spite of myself. She has saved my life more than once. She's always been there with her love, and it has certainly made me forget the pain for a long time, many times. When it gets dark and everybody's gone home and the lights are turned off, it's just me and her.”
    Johnny Cash

    Hannah Harrington
    “You're nothing like your sister," he tells me. "She meant a lot to me, okay? It's true. But the things I like about you have nothing to do with her. You - you are so strong and stubborn it drives me crazy. You're the one going through all this and you still put Laney first every time, instead of throwing yourself the pity party we both know you deserve. You call me out on my shit, and I like that, because sometimes I need someone to call me out on my shit. And you get Johnny Cash, and you take these incredible photos, and everything about you makes me hurt, in a good way, and it blows my mind that someone can be so amazing and not even see it.”
    Hannah Harrington, Saving June

  • #19
    Johnny Cash
    “Backstage at the Grand Ole Opry, I got on my knees and told her that I was going to marry her some day. We were both married to someone else at the time. ‘Ring Of Fire’—June and Merle Kilgore wrote that song for me-that’s the way our love affair was. We fell madly in love and we worked together all the time, toured together all the time, and when the tour was over we both had to go home to other people. It hurt.”
    Johnny Cash

    Henry Rollins
    “Most of the time when I have met artists who have meant a lot to me, the experience has been well above expectation. People like Iggy, Lou Reed, Jerry Lee Lewis, Black Sabbath, Nick Cave, Hubert Selby Jr, Billy Gibbons, Al Pacino, John Lee Hooker, James Brown, Johnny Cash etc. have been really great to me. What strikes me is most of the time, the bigger the celeb/legend, the more polite and cool they are. It's the insecure ones who treat you like they're doing you a favor by shaking your hand.”
    Henry Rollins

    Taylor Rhodes
    “The smell of cigarette smoke in the air in a tavern that changes names often,
    a bar cursed because of a girl who died of a drug overdose
    in the basement, we put a few coins in the jukebox;
    chose “Angel Band” by Johnny Cash and sat down at the bar,
    ordered a soda, you wanted a whiskey on the rocks.
    We saw the coal miner who moved here from West Virginia
    knocking back liquor like I drink sweet tea.
    No one asked why he was so solemn today.
    It was warm. It was relatively quiet.
    To anyone else, this place could feel sinister.
    But to us, it was freedom. It was a hiding place.
    No one was ever here long enough to know us.
    And we liked it that way.”
    Taylor Rhodes, Sixteenth Notes: the breaking of the rose-colored glasses
