Some people seem to fade away but then when they are truly gone, it's like they didn't fade away at all.

I'm not nostalgic for my glory days in college. It was lame for me. Probably because I had no friends.

Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.

As years passed away I have formed the habit of looking back upon that former self as upon another person, the remembrance of whose emotions has been a solace in adversity and added zest to the enjoyment of prosperity.

I maintain that when I finally retire from my career in music, I will go and live back in Wales - when I am an old person, if I live to be an old person. The water I miss, and the air, there's something different about it. And I miss the simple life.

I've seldom become nostalgic or settled.

It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

My habit of glorifying things far away in space and time, also contributed to my social isolation.

It's more important what you leave to people on this planet. I want my legacy to exist now, currently, not after I'm gone.
