Natalie Merchant Quotes

Where in hell can you go far from the things that you know far from the sprawl of concrete that keeps crawling its way about 1,000 miles a day? Picture Quote #1

Talk, talk, talk about it you talk as if you care but when your talk is over tilt that bottle in the air tossing back more than your share Picture Quote #1

I would say I’d rather dig a ditch, you know, do hard, manual labor than write lyrics Picture Quote #1

I’m on this search trying to figure out exactly who I am and what I have to say to people Picture Quote #1

I’ve walked these streets, in a carnival of sights to see. All the cheap thrill seekers, the vendors and the dealers, they crowded around me. Have I been blind? Have I been lost, inside myself and my own mind? Hypnotized, mesmerized, by what my eyes have seen? I’ve walked these streets, in a spectacle of wealth and poverty. In the diamond market, the scarlet welcome carpet that they just rolled out for me Picture Quote #1

I go to the river from time to time to ponder over the crazy days in my life. Watch the river flow, ease my mind and soul where I go Picture Quote #1

My mother was a single working mother; she started having children very young. There was a tension inside her about who she wanted to be and what she wanted to do and how she couldn’t achieve the things she wanted to Picture Quote #1

See them walking, if you dare if you call that walking stumble, stagger, fall and drag themselves along the streets of heaven Picture Quote #1

Who do you believe? who will you listen to who will it be? it’s high time that you decide in your own mind Picture Quote #1

Trouble me disturb me with all your cares and you worries trouble me on the days when you feel spent Picture Quote #1

You’ll know it’s true, that you are blessed and lucky it’s true, that you are touched by something that will grow and bloom in you Picture Quote #1
