“I've come to the realisation that I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing half the time”
"Sermon From the Savoy", New Musical Express (29 September 1984)
Контексте: I'm terribly intuitive—I always thought I was intellectual about what I do, but I've come to the realisation that I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing half the time, that the majority of the stuff that I do is totally intuitive, totally about where I am physically and mentally at any moment in time and I have a far harder time than anybody else explaining it and analysing it. That's the territory of the artist anyway: to be quite at sea with what he does, and working towards not being intuive about it and being far more methodical and academic about it.
“Turn and face the strange changes.”

Turn and face the strange.
“As long as there's me
As long as there's you”
"Where Are We Now?" (2013)
Song lyrics, The Next Day (2013)
Контексте: Where are we now?
Where are we now?
The moment you know
You know, you know
As long as there's sun
As long as there's sun
As long as there's rain
As long as there's rain
As long as there's fire
As long as there's fire
As long as there's me
As long as there's you
“How many times does an angel fall?
How many people lie instead of talking tall?”
"Blackstar"
Song lyrics, Blackstar (2016)
Контексте: Something happened on the day he died
Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried
(I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar) How many times does an angel fall?
How many people lie instead of talking tall?
He trod on sacred ground, he cried loud into the crowd
(I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar, I’m not a gangster)
Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed
Song lyrics, Space Oddity (1969)
Changes
Song lyrics, Hunky Dory (1971)
Контексте: Still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild.
A million dead-end streets and
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet.
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test.
Inspirations (1997), quoted in "Looking back at David Bowie's invaluable advice for young artists" https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/david-bowie-advice-young-artists/
"Heroes", written with Brian Eno
Song lyrics, "Heroes" (1977)
Контексте: I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins
Like dolphins can swim Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, forever and ever
Oh, we can be heroes just for one day.
