Дженис Джоплин цитаты

„По-моему, я думаю слишком много. Вот почему я пью!“

„Какая я вам звезда! После концерта, разбитая, прихожу в гримерку, волосы всклокочены, одежда запачкана, нижнее белье разорвано… У меня страшная мигрень, я не могу найти второй ботинок. Мне не к кому возвращаться домой, и я, подвыпивши, умоляю своего менеджера подбросить меня в пустую квартиру. Разве так бывает у звезд?..“

„На стадионе я занимаюсь любовью с двадцатью пятью тысячами человек — а затем возвращаюсь домой одна…“

„На сцене я занимаюсь любовью с 25 000 человек, а домой возвращаюсь в полном одиночестве…“

„Хиппи верят в то, что мир может стать лучше. Битники же знают, что лучше не станет, и говорят: да пошёл бы этот мир к чёрту, будем отрываться и хорошо проводить время“

„Быть интеллектуалом — значит задавать себе множество вопросов, не находя на них ответа. Ты можешь посвятить всю свою жизнь какой-то идее - и все равно возвращаться домой в одиночестве…“

„Быть интеллектуалом — значит задавать себе множество вопросов, не находя на них ответа. Широкий спектр идей не гарантирует единомышленников. Все, что истинно и имеет значение, — это твои чувства. Вот что значит для меня музыка.“

“Well, I’m gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.
I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!”

“You know you got it if it makes you feel good.”

“Fourteen heart attacks and he had to die in my week. In MY week.”

“Honey, I love to go to parties,
And I like to have a good time,
But if it gets too pale after a while
Honey and I start looking to find
One good man.”

“An’ I don’t want much outa life,
I never wanted a mansion in the south.
I just-a want to find someone sincere
Who’d treat me like he talks,
One good man.”

“One good man,
Oh ain’t much, honey ain’t much,
It’s only everything…”

“Work me, lord. Please don't you leave me. I feel so useless down here with no one to love. Though I looked everywhere, and I can't find me anybody to love, to feel my care…So, work me lord, oh, use me lord. Can I show you how hard it is trying to live when you're all alone? Everyday I keep trying to move forward but something is driving me, oh, back. Something's trying to hold on to me, to my way of life. So, oh, don't you forget me down here lord, no no no no no, don't you forget me, lord. Well I don't think I'm any very special kind of person down here, I know better. But I don't think you're gonna find anybody, not anybody who can say that they tried like I tried. The worst that you can say all about me is that I'm never satisfied…”

“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.”

“Work me Lord, work me Lord.
Please don't you leave me,
I feel so useless down here
With no one to love
Though I've looked everywhere
And I can't find me anybody to love,
To feel my care.”

“Oh! But it don't make no difference, babe, hey,
And I know that I could always try.
Theres a fire inside everyone of us,
You'd better need it now,
I got to hold it, yeah,
I better use it till the day I die.”

“Don't expect any answers, dear,
For I know that they don't come with age, no, no.
Well, ain't never gonna love you any better, babe.
And I'm never gonna love you right,
So you'd better take it now, and right now.”

“Dawn has come at last,
Twenty-five years, honey just in one night, oh yeah.
Well, Im twenty-five years older now
So I know we can't be right
And Im no better, baby,
And I cant help you no more
Than I did when just a girl.”

“Time keeps movin' on,
Friends they turn away.
I keep movin' on
But I never found out why
I keep pushing so hard the dream,
I keep tryin to make it right
Through another lonely day, whoaa.”

“Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing don’t mean nothing honey if it ain’t free...
And feeling good was easy, lord, when he sang the blues.
You know feeling good was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.”

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