“Stevie thought that “Silver Springs” would be her dominant song on the new album; it couldn’t fail. The only problem was that Lindsey hated the song. He said it was too much in his face, and he gave Stevie a very hard time about working on the song in the studio. To Lindsey Buckingham, “Silver Springs” was not a prophesy. It was a curse.”
― Steven Davis, Gold Dust Woman: The Biography of Stevie Nicks

“I’m always inclined to believe that the best way of knowing [the divine] is to love a great deal. Love that friend, that person, that thing, whatever you like, you’ll be on the right path to knowing more thoroughly, afterwards; that’s what I say to myself. But you must love with a high, serious intimate sympathy, with a will, with intelligence, and you must always seek to know more thoroughly, better, and more.”
― Vincent Van Gogh
