I dont think you get to good writing unless you expose yourself and your feelings. Deep songs dont come from the surface they come from the deep down. The poetry and the songs that you are suppose to write, I believe are in your heart. – Judy Collins
I was raised to speak out about politics and the world around me. I would do it whether I was in the public or not. It is the way I was taught. The American way. – Judy Collins
I dont dream songs. Im more apt to write dreams down and then to be able to interpret them into a song. I also tend to get up and write prose in the morning from which will come songs. – Judy Collins

Oxton,” 1807 January 1st, Newar
