Frasi di David Bowie

“Il mio cantante preferito è di gran lunga Lucio Battisti.”

“Sento che stiamo solamente annunciando qualcosa di più oscuro di noi stessi.”

“Credo che il Rock and Roll sia pericoloso.”

“Il rock è sempre stato la musica del diavolo.”

“The words just jolly it along. It's always been my way of expressing what for me is inexpressible by any other means.”

“I had to resign myself, many years ago, that I'm not too articulate when it comes to explaining how I feel about things. But my music does it for me, it really does.”

“And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations.
They're quite aware of what they're going through.”

“Don’t you love the Oxford Dictionary? When I first read it, I thought it was a really really long poem about everything.”

“Speak in extremes, it'll save you time.”

“I'm an instant star. Just add water and stir.”

“The truth is, of course, that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing all at the same time.”

“What is the quality you most like in a man?
The ability to return books.”

“I'll paint you moments of gold, I'll spin you Valentine evenings…”

“Once you lose that sense of wonder at being alive, you're pretty much on the way out…”

“If it works, it's out of date.”

“I can ask for cigarettes in every language”

“Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere, angel
Come get up my baby.
Look at that sky, life's begun
Nights are warm and the days are young
Come get up my baby.”

“And you,
You can be mean
And I,
I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers,
And that is a fact
Yes we're lovers,
And that is that”

“I'm not a prophet or a stone aged man / just a mortal with potential of a superman / I'm living on.”

“The moment you know you know you know.”

“As you get older the questions come down to two or three. How long have I got and what am I gonna do with the time I've got left?”

“Heathenism is a state of mind. You can take it that I'm referring to one who does not see his world. He has no mental light. He destroys almost unwittingly.”

“No more free steps to heaven.”

“Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah!”

“I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human.”

“Cause I'd rather stay here
With all the madmen
Than perish with the sadmen roaming free
And I'd rather play here
With all the madmen
For I'm quite content they're all as sane
As me”

“It's not the side-effects of the cocaine - I'm thinking that it must be love.

It's too late to be grateful,
It's too late to be hateful,
It's too late to be late again,
The European cannon is here.”

“Look up here, I’m in heaven
I’ve got scars that can’t be seen
I’ve got drama, can’t be stolen
Everybody knows me now”

“Everywhere I looked, demons of the future [were] on the battlegrounds of one’s emotional plane.”

“Confront a corpse at least once. The absolute absence of life is the most disturbing and challenging confrontation you will ever have.
David Bowie”

“Gentleness clears the soul
Love cleans the mind
And makes it Free.”

“And I don't care what anybody says; I like doing it, and it's what I shall continue to do”

“I rate Morrissey (Steven Patrick Morrissey) as one of the best lyricists in Britain. For me, he`s up there with Bryan Ferry.”
