Art Garfunkel Quotes
It seems to me that at 19 or 20, a young man is burning to be great at something. I was. You have a vision that's beyond the neighborhood. You want to make a mark while you're alive.

And you dare not tell anybody how extreme and how burning are your visions, because you don't want anybody to mess with them
