[Rock 'n' roll] really is not given to thinking — and resents thinking. Which I believe is the big error of rock 'n' roll. It's always aspired to be the music of the working class. And it's never been looked upon as a vocabulary for art and artistic thinking... We have to be able to expand the vocabulary to express more complex thoughts.

Paul Simon

Hiding in my room, safe within my womb,
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

Paul Simon

I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died. If I never loved I never would have cried...I am a rock.

Paul Simon

I have my books And my poetry to protect me; I am shielded in my armor, Hiding in my room, safe within my womb. I touch no one and no one touches me. I am a rock, I am an island.

Paul Simon
