“I'm a real self-educated kind of guy. I read voraciously. Every book I ever bought, I have. I can't throw it away. It's physically impossible to leave my hand! Some of them are in warehouses. I've got a library that I keep the ones I really really like. I look around my library some nights and I do these terrible things to myself--I count up the books and think, how long I might have to live and think, 'F@#%k, I can't read two-thirds of these books.' It overwhelms me with sadness."
--David Bowie, quoted in the Daily Beast in a 2002 interview with Bob Guccione, Jr.”

“«Creio que o guarda-chuva é uma excelente invenção. Repare: não é um objecto que evita a chuva individualmente. Não gosto dela, mas não acabo com ela, não a destruo. O guarda-chuva é uma filosofia que usamos no quotidiano. A água continua a cair nos campos, apenas evito que me estrague o penteado. É um objecto bondoso, que não magoa ninguém.»
Não há muita coisa assim.”

“All that love, all that pain, all the stuff people feel – not just me and you, brother, but everyone, everyone who's ever walked this beautiful green planet – how can all that disappear when somebody dies? It can't disappear, it's too big. Too strong, too... permanent. So it moves to another frequency, where the human ear can't pick up.”
