Thinking Quotes
-
We tend to minimize the things we can do, the goals we can accomplish, and for some equally strange reason we think other people can accomplish things that we cannot.

Your religion is for you, and is best kept close to your heart.'

Rock 'n' roll really is not given to thinking - and resents thinking. Which I believe is the big error of rock 'n' roll. It's always aspired to be the music of the working class.
