To see both sides of a quarrel, is to judge without hate or alarm  (Richard Thompson Quotes) It’s amazing what some people read into songs  (Richard Thompson Quotes) Every day I’ll wear your memory like a favorite shirt upon my back  (Richard Thompson Quotes) You want the audience to be uncomfortable  (Richard Thompson Quotes) But music can save your life sometimes. It probably saved me from working in a bank or something. That’s a kind of salvation right there  (Richard Thompson Quotes) I’m glad there are a lot of guitar players pursuing technique as diligently as they possibly can, because it leaves this whole other area open to people like me.  (Richard Thompson Quotes) Well, first of all it’s entertainment. That stops us becoming too pretentious or thinking we’re great artists.  (Richard Thompson Quotes) As the writer, you’re always a presence in the song. If you get close to what human beings are like, you’re writing about common experience. We all do much the same things, so if you nail somebody, then you’ve also nailed yourself.  (Richard Thompson Quotes) I’m sure every pattern has been covered, but it’s nice to think you might dwell on some that other people don’t.  (Richard Thompson Quotes) Nothing is plainer than that, if the principles of the church of Rome prevail here, our Constitution would fall. The two cannot exist together. They are in open and direct antagonism with the fundamental theory of our government and of all popular government everywhere  (Richard Thompson Quotes) There is in fact a controversy over Darwin’s theory. Clearly both theories have religious implications. But this is not about God  (Richard Thompson Quotes) It’s fun to sing sad songs. And it’s fun to listen to sad songs. Enjoyable. Satisfying. Something  (Richard Thompson Quotes) All audiences should be slightly off balance  (Richard Thompson Quotes) The best thing you’ve got going for you is individuality  (Richard Thompson Quotes) Amplifying acoustic instruments more than a little is really cheating, and everything becomes a compromise  (Richard Thompson Quotes) I have to remind myself not to set boundaries  (Richard Thompson Quotes) I just like to entertain myself by sitting down and writing songs  (Richard Thompson Quotes) I like the idea of playing in unison with yourself  (Richard Thompson Quotes) I’m always making a conscious effort to be viable and accessible  (Richard Thompson Quotes) People want to hear about the extremes of human nature. They want things that are larger than their own lives, and more romantic, and not necessarily of their own experiences  (Richard Thompson Quotes) As the writer, you’re always a presence in the song. If you get close to what human beings are like, you’re writing about common experience. We all do much the same things, so if you nail somebody, then you’ve also nailed yourself  (Richard Thompson Quotes) I think the reason kids get into drugs and smoking is they don’t have anything to do  (Richard Thompson Quotes) I try to look for the good in everybody, regardless of the way they’re labeled  (Richard Thompson Quotes) I try to make songs visual and tactile to kind of put you into the action  (Richard Thompson Quotes) I want people to come to my music without prejudice. I want them to get the music first. And who I am isn’t that important. If they like the songs to me that’s a good thing  (Richard Thompson Quotes) I’m glad there are a lot of guitar players pursuing technique as diligently as they possibly can, because it leaves this whole other area open to people like me  (Richard Thompson Quotes) They came in the thousands from the whole human race to pay their respects at his last resting place  (Richard Thompson Quotes) I’m sure every pattern has been covered, but it’s nice to think you might dwell on some that other people don’t  (Richard Thompson Quotes) I think it’s absolutely possible to write a song and go somewhere where no one’s been before, uncharted territory. In terms of content, I see limitations where there should be none. I know there are things I wouldn’t write about, but that shouldn’t be the case. You should be able to make a song out of anything, out of any situation  (Richard Thompson Quotes) I think you can refine what you do, and become more consistent. And you write better songs that have a better shape and a better feeling. You evolve into and out of things, and go through stages, but, ultimately, you do improve  (Richard Thompson Quotes)
