Jerry Garcia Quotes

There was no one to call me to bed, no one to demand that the rhythms of my life operate in a duet.

You must learn to exist with no religion, no country, no allies. You must learn to live alone in silence.

… splendid isolation

Being on your own sometimes is appealing.

I was an only child so, at home, I'm turnt up by myself, doing whatever I wanna do.

I've never been super close to family. I've never relied on anyone.
