Jim Morrison tells me that people are looking at the streets while I am looking at the moon. I do not feel connected enough [with the issues] to throw stones at a policeman. I want to throw stones at the whole world. (Nico)

I don't have a sense of time. Time is timeless to me, and I'm not in a hurry to get older. I mean, if I were worried about time, all the time, it would be terrible.

Nico

I have a habit of leaving places at the wrong time, just when something big may have happened for me.

Nico

With every moon it is as though you're getting closer to your soul And then you go alone and with no fear Then you will know That it was like this before we had to go And you will find that you were blind Until you saw these lights glowing in your nights.

Nico

Cease to know or to tell Or to see or to be your own Have someone else's will as your own Have someone else's will as your own.

Nico

You are beautiful and you are alone.

Nico

Banish the faceless reward your grace Banish the faceless reward your grace.

Nico

Often the adolescent plague Reward your grace Confuse your hunger capture the fake...

Nico

He came your way And when he had to go There were roses growing in the snow Silently you'll go to the shadow of your soul And you know that it was like this before we had to go You will never see these lights Glowing in your nights Until you feel this way.

Nico

You will never see these lights Glowing in your nights If you don't know And there are roses growing in the snow.

Nico

You could say it like was like a fairy tale at the time; Andy would be the good fairy, and Jim would play the giant, Brian would be the witch, Paul McCartney would be the frog who turns into a prince, no, it would have to be the other way round. (Nico)

The same things happen in different guises.

Nico

It is better to be addicted to opium than to be addicted to money.

Nico

I think he was the first man I met who was not afraid of me in some way. We were very similar, like brother and sister. Our spirits are similar.

Nico

I would say the time has not yet come. I rebel against the present, whenever it is, because I have not seen any change, other than oppositions grow stronger.

Nico

I think he was the first man I met who was not afraid of me in some way. We were very similar, like brother and sister. Our spirits are similar. We were the same height and the same age, almost ... He was well read and he introduced me to William Blake and also the English Romantic poets who came after him. Jim liked Shelley. I preferred Coleridge. In fact, he is my favoured poet of all time. Did you know they were all drug addicts? Coleridge was addicted to opium. It is better to be addicted to opium than to be addicted to money.
