Famous Quotes from John Snell

"Something is art if, while spending more time with it, you continually get more out of it."

"If I had a pen and paper, the first thing I would write would be a note to myself to always carry a pen and paper."

"When my head twirls around from a poltergeist, I can't even tell it's spinning. It just feels like I'm doing underwater somersaults."

"For every change in your life, no matter how small, be sure to contemplate whether it's a change for the better."

"There are so many people in this world, yet there is no replacement for any one."

"For me to say I communicate with God would just be to give the answering voice in my head a nickname (or a formality, if you want to think of it that way). It's not like we have to dial eachother up and ask for eachother by name."

"Every second that I spend concentrating on the present seems so convincingly to be the present, but when I think back on it, it's not."

"When one starts to question reality, one begins to drift from sanity." -or- "If you're starting to question reality, you're probably drifting from Sanity." Which is best? email johnsnellx@juno.com

Sometimes, as I'm lying in bed waiting to fall asleep, I'll flick a booger into the darkness, and if I don't hear it land, I'll think, "Oh good-must've landed in the cat litter." (1990)

"There's nothing as exciting as a phone call from sobriety while lost in the mist of floating surrealism." ( I don't even know what that means, but it came to me and I feel it's my job to dictate.)

"The sun still goes through my bedroom windows even if I'm not there to absorb it."

"I'm an idea, man."

"We are all living a future memory."

"Tools expand your mind as well as your horizons." (They expand your mind in regards to what the mind thinks is possible.)

About my 1994 song Confused Reality: "This is a song to please the easily pleased. If you are easily pleased, don't let the not-so-easily-pleased displease you, because if you are easily pleased, you spend a lot more of your time being pleased than do the not-as-easily-pleased."

"Don't you think a colonoscopee should be called a colonoscopoop?"

"I was going to say something to someone, but I can't remember what or to whom."

"I feel like I'm living the documentary of my life."

"Great things come to those who write."

"Watch out! Sometimes you can be so open-inded your brain falls out."

"Good writing goes beyond descriptives and nice phrasings toward enlightenment."

"Me'n my sweater have been through a lot together--so much in fact that I named her Me'n."

"Not caring what people think may impress some people, but that doesn't affect me because I don't care what people think."

"Not caring what people think lets you be your self without any inhibitions. Ah. Refreshing."

"Inside me is my skeleton."
