Tom Waits

"The Music was like Electric Sugar"

 

"I’ve always been a word guy,
I like weird words and I like

American slang and all that...

and words that are no longer

being used…

I like to drag them out of the box and wave them around…

this is an interesting one,

it’s amazing how in addition

to punctuation just a little pause

in the wrong place can

just completely transform

the meaning of something."

"Oh, I'm not a percussionist,

I just like to hit things."

"The big print giveth

and the small print

taketh away. "

"You can learn a lot

about a woman

by getting smashed

with her."

Cyber relationships have
the illusion of intimacy,
sometimes with the absence

of intimacy.

Is it better to have a conversation

in a café or on the telephone?"

"We are buried beneath
the weight of information,

which is being confused

with knowledge;

quantity is being confused

with abundance

and wealth with happiness.

We are monkeys

with money

and guns."
