The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Don McLean
- When people ask me what ‘American Pie’ means, I tell them it means I don’t ever have to work again if I don’t want to.
- Each thread of life that you leave, will spin around your deeds and dictate your needs.
- A long long time ago, I can still remember how that music use to make me smile.
- Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky, a dream come true, I’ll live there til I die.
- My face on every coin engraved, the anarchists are all enslaved. My flag is forever waved, by the grateful people I have saved.
- I’m glad that my music has helped other people as it’s helped me. It makes me glad that I did what I did with my life.
- Every pulse of your heartbeat is one liquid moment that flows through the veins of your being. Like a river of life flowing on since creation, approaching the sea with each new generation.
- I was always just into my music and maybe into trying to save the world a little bit. I never really thought I’d have a hit record or anything like that. I was prepared to travel around all over the country, kind of like a Johnny Appleseed, and sing.
- How did the land of Jefferson, how did the land of King, become the land of hamburgers and raisins that can sing? Roosevelt was cripple, Lincoln was a geek, they’d never get elected, their clothes were never chic.
- As you sell your soul and sow your seeds, and you wound yourself and your loved ones bleed. And your habits grow and your conscience feeds, on all that you thought you should be.
