The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Roy Orbison

  • I close my eyes, then I drift away, into the magic night I softly say. A silent prayer, like dreamers do, then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you.
  • Only the lonely know the way I feel tonight.
  • I always felt each instrumental and vocal inflection had to be special… I’d spend almost as much time on those as I’d spend on the song itself.
  • To be a songwriter-singer means the songs come from deep within, and you treat them as an artist, with that much respect. I couldn’t hardly cheat myself.
  • Love hurts, love scars, love wounds, and mars.
  • If you have faith, then your whole life is put in a new perspective. You get to work but enjoy the work at the same time. If you grow spiritually, you do what’s in front of you and let the results speak for themselves.
  • Pretty woman, I don’t believe you, you’re not the truth. No one could look as good as you, mercy.
  • I was stuck with the dark glasses. They took all these pictures that went around the world. I guess once you become successful, you don’t want to change anything too drastically.
  • I’ve really learned a lot, really learned a lot, love is like a stove, burns you when it’s hot.
  • As you stopped to say hello, oh, you wished me well, you couldn’t tell that I’d been crying over you.

Roy Orbison (1936–1988) was an influential American singer-songwriter known for his powerful, operatic voice and emotionally charged ballads. Born in Vernon, Texas, he began his music career in the 1950s, initially recording rockabilly songs at Sun Records alongside artists like Elvis Presley.

Orbison rose to fame in the early 1960s with hits such as “Only the Lonely,” “Crying,” and “Oh, Pretty Woman,” which showcased his wide vocal range and dramatic style.

Unlike many of his contemporaries, Orbison often performed standing still, dressed in black, and wearing dark sunglasses, creating a mysterious image. After a period of decline, he experienced a major comeback in the late 1980s as a member of the supergroup Traveling Wilburys. Orbison died of a heart attack in 1988, leaving behind a lasting musical legacy.
