John Steinbeck
“All great and precious things are lonely.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

Lou Reed
“There's a bit of magic in everything
And then some loss to even things out.”
Lou Reed, I'll Be Your Mirror: The Collected Lyrics

Legs McNeil
“Rock & Roll is so great, people should start dying for it. You don't understand. The music gave you back the beat so you could dream. A whole generation running with a Fender bass...

The people just have to die for the music. People are dying for everything else, so why not the music? Die for it. Isn't it pretty? Wouldn't you die for something pretty?

Perhaps I should die. After all, all the great blues singers did die. But life is getting better now.

I don't want to die. Do I? - Lou Reed (1965-1968)”
Legs McNeil, Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk

Lou Reed
“When you think the night has seen your mind,
That inside you're twisted and unkind,
Let me stand to show that you are blind.
Please put down you hands 'cause I see you.
I'll be you mirror, reflect what you are.

I'll Be Your Mirror
Lou Reed, Pass Thru Fire: The Collected Lyrics

Legs McNeil
“The old sound was alcoholic. The tradition was finally broken. The music is sex and drugs and happy. And happy is the joke the music understands best. Ultra sonic sounds on records to cause frontal lobotomies. Hey, don't be afraid. You'd better take drugs and learn to love PLASTIC. All diffrent kinds of plastic- pliable, rigid, colored, colorful, nonattached plastic. - Lou Reed (1965-1968)”
Legs McNeil, Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk
