Laura Nyro Quotations

I don't think you should categorize yourself as an artist.

I lost my eyes In east wind skies Here's where I've cried Where I've tried Where God and the Tendaberry rise Where Quakers and revolutionaries Join for life

Emily And her love to be Carved in a heart On a berry tree But it's only a little farewell lovespell Time to design a woman

You can see the walls roar See your brains on the floor Become God Become cripple Become funky

If it's peace you find in dying, well then let the time be near.

Sometimes only poetry can say it. I think there's just this deeper language, and away of putting your world back together again and breaking through barriers.

They say a woman's place Is to wait and serve Under the veil Submissive and dear But I think my place Is in a ship from space To carry me The hell out of here.

I was raised on the good book Jesus Till I read between the lines Now I don't believe I ever wanna see the morning

Nothing cures like time and love ...

Give me my freedom for as long as I be All I ask of livin' is to have no chains on me All I ask of livin' is to have no chains on me And all I ask of dyin' is to go naturally... And when I die, and when I'm gone There'll be one child born, in our world To carry on, to carry on...
