Quotes by Stevie Ray Vaughan

“Ya know, right now the most important thing in my life is to make sure you understand that, first of all I thank God Im alive today, and I mean that.I spent too many years of my life thinking that the big party was the whole thing. it took me quiet a while to find out that the real deal is to be able to be enough of a person on your own to know when somebody loves you and cares about you.You see, we are here, as far as I can tell, to help each other; our brothers, our sisters, our friends, our enemies. That is to help each other and not hurt each other. And sometimes to help them we have got to help ourselves. So that we will know that they are around in the first place.Its a big world out there; with enough pain and misery in it; without me going around and helping it out by hurting myself; and consequently, those that care about me.What I am trying to get across to you; is please take of yourselves and those that you love; because that is what we are hear for, thats all we got, and that is all we can take with us. Are you with me ?”

“You see, we are here, as far as I can tell, to help each other; our brothers, our sisters, our friends, our enemies. That is to help each other and not hurt each other. And sometimes to help them we have got to help ourselves.”

I hit rock bottom, but thank God my bottom wasnt death.

Some of us can be examples about going ahead and growing, and some of us, unfortunately, dont make it there, and end up being examples because they had to die. I hit rock bottom, but thank God my bottom wasnt death.

Im just doing the best I can now to keep this going... trying to grow up and remain young at the same time.

The way people come into your life when you need them, its wonderful and it happens in so many ways. Its like having an angel. Somebody comes along and helps you get right.
