Al Stewart Quotations

Jimi Hendrix played loud and free, Sergeant Pepper was real to me.

Whoever you pretend to be, you must face yourself eventually.

You reach out your hand, but you're all alone, in those time passages.

Do you remember the church across the sands? You stood outside and planned to travel the lands, where the pilgrims go. So you packed your world up inside a canvas sack, set off down the highway with your rings and Kerouac. Someone said they saw you in Nepal a long time back. Tell me why you look away, don't you have a word to say?

Movie queens diffuse into Cinema haze, while libertines read pornozines in street cafes.

Look to the past and remember no empire rises that sooner or later won't fall.

Louis Armstrong playing trumpet on the Judgment Day.

The literati in their cellarsPerform semantic tarantellas.I wish I did it half as well as them.

Of all the girls I ever knew some loved and some denied me And all the words I ever said have been no use to hide me And all the songs I ever sung each one of them untied me And all the girls I ever loved have left themselves inside me.

On a morning from a Bogart movie, in a country where they turn back time. You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre, contemplating a crime. She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running like a watercolor in the rain. Don't bother asking for explanations, she'll just tell you that she came in the year of the cat.

There's room in the world for one historical folk-rock singer to make a decent living, and I happen to be it.

Only two to three per cent of an audience is interested in words and pays attention to lyrics; most of the rest of it is about image or the beat or the sound, or else it's a tribal thing - country & western, rap, heavy metal, with historical folk rock off in some kind of cult.

I know there's a big bad world out there, but I rarely come across it.

We measure our days out in steps of uncertainty not turning to see how far we've come. And peer down the highway from here to eternity and reach out for love on the run.

The evening sings in a voice of amber, the dawn is surely coming.

She's got the whole game. She usually drew the main offensive threat on the other team, and that defensive intensity was her trademark. She's not a flashy player, but she does a lot of good things.

She had big parts in both of those wins. She plays tough every night and plays tough consistently through the whole game. You don't see kids put in that effort as consistently these days.

(Moss) got his rhythm going, and his confidence went over 100 percent. That's what good players do. They shoot until they make them.

Hunters looking for the greatest hunting flexibility should consider Hunt No. 234, which includes all open areas except public lands, in Unit ZZ (southern Michigan).

I thought Morgan pitched well, I thought their kid pitched well. I thought the defense for both teams was good and that both teams hit well. Holly saved us with that crusher ? as long as I've seen it in a long time. I expect big things from her.

We've lost four or five games by a point or two. Tonight we controlled the play more at the ends of quarters and used the clock better. This was a great game.

We were not very aggressive at the plate until the sixth inning. We missed some chances early, but Morgan threw a very good game.

To this day, I've never had a hit in England. Year of the Cat was a hit everywhere in the world except England.

We cut the gap to 34-33 early in the fourth quarter, but those kind of comebacks take a lot out of a team. We were down all the way around, but I think we had a pretty good year.

Every time I got around one guy, the next one was coming.

I still don't know who some of them are.

Team Macon continues to be upbeat. And we're doing our part to ensure the success of the C-17 program because it's the right airplane at the right time.

This is the most important case I have ever tried.

It really is remarkable how turkeys have flourished in Michigan. When all of this first started, it was believed that you needed vast areas of timber which was exactly what we had in northern Michigan. But then it became known that turkeys could and would thrive in broken farmland. That's what southern Michigan has and the population has really flourished there.

Sweet wasn't overpowering, but she changed speed well and they played good defense behind her. It was a very good game, back and forth. They have a very solid team, and we can correct our errors. All of our errors were in the last tree innings.

It was a nine?point lead, but it didn't feel like it. It was so back?and?forth. They missed shots, and we missed shots.

All those people who go to NASCAR and sing country & western songs and live in Tennessee, they totally ignore me, they don't come to my shows, I just don't exist for them and they don't exist for me.
