As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations.
They're quite aware of what they're going through.

“I'm a real self-educated kind of guy. I read voraciously. Every book I ever bought, I have. I can't throw it away. It's physically impossible to leave my hand! Some of them are in warehouses. I've got a library that I keep the ones I really really like. I look around my library some nights and I do these terrible things to myself--I count up the books and think, how long I might have to live and think, 'F@#%k, I can't
read two-thirds of these books.' It overwhelms me with sadness."
--David Bowie, quoted in the Daily Beast in a 2002 interview with Bob Guccione, Jr.”
― David Bowie

― David Bowie

― David Bowie
“I'm always amazed that people take what I say seriously. I don't even take what I am seriously.”
― David Bowie
“I'm looking for backing for an unauthorized auto-biography that I am writing. Hopefully, this will
sell in such huge numbers that I will be able to sue myself for an extraordinary amount of money and finance the film version in which I play everybody.”
― David Bowie
“Once you lose that sense of wonder at being alive, you're pretty much on the way out...”
― David Bowie

― David Bowie Heroes
“I'll paint you moments of gold, I'll spin you Valentine evenings...”

You can be mean
And
I,
I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers,
And that is a fact
Yes we're lovers,
And that is that
- "Heroes"”
― David Bowie

- Golden Years”

Just a mortal with potential of a superman
I'm living on.

The Songs Of David Bowie
“Look up here, I'm in heaven!
I've got scars that can't be seen
I've got drama, can't be stolen,
Everybody knows me now
(...)
This way or no way
You know I'll be free
Just like that bluebird
Now, ain't that just like me?
- Lazarus”
― David Bowie
“As you get older the
questions come down to two or three. How long have I got and what am I gonna do with the time I've got left?”
― David Bowie
“You would think that a rock star being married to a super-model would be one of the greatest things in the world. It is.”
― David Bowie
“Aging is an extraordinary process whereby you become the person you always should have been.”
― David Bowie
“It's not the side-effects of the cocaine - I'm thinking that it must be love.
It's too late to be grateful,
It's too late to be hateful,
It's too late to be late again,
The European canon is here.
- Station to Station”
― David Bowie
“Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah!
- Moonage Daydream”
― David Bowie
