Classic Quotes

1.  "Good artists copy, great artists steal"  - Pablo Piccasoo

2.  "The difference between the almost right word and the right word is the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning."  - Mark Twain

3. "We put in five years on the road.  We had "Beatles for Sale" eyes.  If you check out the "Beatles For Sale" album, look at their eyes.  They're gone. They got the one-mile stare.  Soldiers get it.  Soldiers that have been in battle.  They look right through you.  We were done.  We were veterans.  We were twenty-three years old and we were veterans."  - Ozzy Osbourne of Black Sabbath

4.  "I went up to Tony's house and he said, "Oh you want some riffs," and he went to the cupboard and he pulled out four shopping bags full of cassettes, and there must have been thirty or forty riffs on each cassette.  I mean, I reckon he should open a shop -- "Riffs for sale; proprietor, Tony Iommi." - Cozy Powell on Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath

5. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

6. When asked about [Bob Dylan's] music, he said, "It's mathematical...I use words like most people use numbers.  That's about the best I can do."

7.  "I always thought that one man, the lone balladeer with the guitar could blow an entire army off the stage if he knew what he was doing." - Bob Dylan

8. Anyone looking slightly normal is not allowed in. Anyone who is pregnant or is suffering from a nervous disposition is advised not to attend. And the Ozzy organization takes no responsibility for your mental health after the show. – Ozzy Osbourne
