Get It While You Can

*sigh*Randomly surfing through wikipedia, and remembered a goddess who is sorely missed on Earth, Janis Joplin. Thus, quotes.




Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got.

I'm one of those regular weird people.

On stage I make love to twenty five thousand people; and then I go home alone.

When I'm there, I'm not here. I can't talk about my singing; I'm inside it. How can you describe something you're inside of?

I feel, you know, I hurt, please help. I'm saying words, man, and if I look at an audience and they ain't understanding me, it's just like getting kicked in the teeth

Being an intellectual creates a lot of questions and no answers. You can fill your life up with ideas and still go home lonely. All you really have that really matters are feelings. That's what music is to me.

*SQUEE* Thank you for this. I think she was one of the most beautiful people whoever lived, for all her frailties and faults. She was always fighting-against racism in her hometown, indifferece from her classmates, drugs, low self-esteem, alcoholism, heartbreak. And to be the best damn singer she could be. She never stopped struggling until the day she died.
