“Johnny Jewel is how people were maybe two hundred years ago. Back then, when people got up in the morning, they knew what they had to do to get through the day - there were 100% less decisions. Nowadays, we have to decide what we want to buy in grocery stores, what job to take, what work to do. But not Johnny. For him, it's all right there - it's a freer state, and that's what my music is looking for... ... To understand Johnny, you should think of William Blake. He was the same kinda guy.”

“Johnny once told me that the sunset was nothing but proof that the end of something can always be beautiful too, “So when we part ways one day in death, or someone takes a last breath, if you loved them deep enough, a love so beautiful could never end with something as simple as death.” He said to me, I hope that one day, when Johnny and I pass together in our sleep, that we turn into sunsets. So the whole world can look at our lives together and see how much I loved him.”

“Johnny Ramone's autobiography is a no holds barred, straight-forward book written in a no-nonsense style that is Johnny personified. His story is written in his own actual words, so the reader gets an insight into what made him the unique, charismatic and exciting individual that he was. It also gives a great view of The Ramones from Johnny's perspective.”

“Johnny Rivers...returned to L.A. to accept a lucrative offer from Elmer Valentine to open at his lavish new nightclub based upon the popular European discotheque concept. Johnny Rivers at the Whisky A Go-Go turned Hollywood upside down. His first Imperial album, "Johnny Rivers At The Whisky A Go-Go," (produced by Lou Adler) was high in the charts for 45 weeks in 1964.”

“Johnny's Sh*temare by Stewart Stafford Amber did sh*t in Johnny's bed, She did it while he was sleeping, Right by Johnny's head. Stank awake on a mattress lumpy, He saw what Amber had left him, A hot, steaming grumpy. Browned off, he leapt to his feet, No dogs stained his manhood, Or crapped on the sheet. Now he's sued her for defamation, And they call her Amber Turd, For her reckless defecation. © Stewart Stafford, 2022. All rights reserved.”

“Johnny sort of popped into my head midway through the first draft, and he wouldn't leave. But the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. In the first half of the movie, this guy is in the house not doing anything. I really needed an actor who's inventive and who will make enough idiosyncratic choices to make it entertaining to watch. And let's face it, Johnny Depp could make a nap interesting to watch.”

“Johnny,the super,stares forward.His new tangerine hair half blinds me above a purple,leopard print shirt.I swing the door wide.“Come in,Johnny.”He eyes Fenris.“I think I’ll stand here,if you don’t mind.Gobbledepoop.”“Yeah, okay.”I lift my purse from the kitchen counter and scrounge for my wallet.Handing Johnny a number of bills, I say, “This should square us, dude. I’ll be out tomorrow.” “Shame.” He flips through the money, his lips silently counting. “You pay on time, and you’re quiet.I like things serene and peaceful.”I glance at his flaming hair. “I can see that about you.”

“Johnson defuses the bomb. Jackie Chan runs around trying to beat up all the guys AND save all the art, which is a 10/10 formula... Then Jackie Chan falls too, but Chris Tucker saves him. NOW THEY ARE TRUE BEST FRIENDS AND THEY GO ON A BEACH VACATION TOGETHER TO HONG KONG. Rush Hour is a flawed thing, a creature of 1998, and it is not my jurisdiction to dismiss its faults. But complicated love is still love.”

“Johnson is a radical skeptic, insisting, in the best Socratic tradition, that everything be put on the table for examination. By contrast, most skeptics opposed to him are selective skeptics, applying their skepticism to the things they dislike (notably religion) and refusing to apply their skepticism to the things they do like (notably Darwinism). On two occasions I’ve urged Michael Shermer, publisher of Skeptic Magazine, to put me on its editorial board as the resident skeptic of Darwinism. Though Shermer and I know each other and are quite friendly, he never got back to me about joining his editorial board.”

“Johnson is wise, Boswell foolish; Johnson warns and abstains, Boswell plunges; Johnson is rather a great man writing than a greatwriter, Boswell is a great writer and an ordinary man; and they are two of a kind, abysmal melancholics and compulsive socializers, afraid of solitude and afraid of death and dissolution, victims of themselves, meant for each other, needing each other, needing evidence and arguments (Boswell is a lawyer, Johnson magisterially dictates to him some of his briefs), making beautiful models of rational discourse out of the useful substance of all they know.”

“JOIA Llum, galzes del migdia dels arbres que ara tanques, alta que acaricies les coloracions del temps—La fosca cella que el vent acotxa, cels d'escata de moll. Ànsia que et fas boca i el goig i el deler de ser l'aigua i els aires, plata encara, desesperant-se. Joia dels ulls, foc que encens, verda nit. Plomada de llum fosca la presència de besllum, sulla, al llindar. I els seus ulls flamissats, crits d'ala astorada el cel dels seus ulls ara, la brosta verd ànsia dels cors. Blanca mifa astorada és ara el cel. Pels cingles les flames dels arbres. Ja els crits cecs de la muntanya la nit que rep. Ja la vida, els seus ulls, incerta, flàmules.”

“Joidenkin kanssa keskusteleminen vain on hankalaa – useimmiten nämä ihmiset ovat miehiä. Minulla on aiheesta ihan Teoriakin. Monet miehet sairastuvat vanhetessaan testosteroniautismiin, ja se ilmenee sosiaalisen älykkyyden ja kommunikaatiotaitojen katoamisena. Se myös vaikeuttaa ajatusten muotoilemista. Tämän Vaivan uhriksi joutunut Mies muuttuu vaiteliaaksi, on kuin hän olisi koko ajan omissa mietteissään. Häntä vetävät puoleensa lähinnä erilaiset Työkalut ja laitteet. Hän on kiinnostunut toisesta maailmansodasta ja kuuluisuuksien elämäkerroista, varsinkin poliitikkojen ja pahantekijöiden. Kyky lukea romaaneja katoaa häneltä lähes kokonaan, sillä testosteroniautismi vaikeuttaa henkilöhahmojen psykologian ymmärtämistä.”

“Joie de Conscience (Le Sonnet) La conscience apporte de la joie, elle apporte du soulagement. C'est une autre sorte de joie, sanctifiée par des accès de chagrin. La conscience engendre le contenu, au-delà de toute excitation matérielle. Grâce à une modération consciencieuse, nous surmontons l’obsession superficielle. Les matériaux sont nécessaires à la subsistance, au-delà de ce point, ils deviennent un poison. Encombrant l’esprit de déchets toxiques, il sépare l’humain de l’humain. La conscience apporte la joie, non contaminée par une fête égoïste. Entourée de compromis rituels, la conscience apporte la liberté civilisée.”

“Join me for a fascinating survey of life’s Three Vibrational Frequencies: Human, Astral, and Divine. Each of these has a purpose for helping you to evolve spiritually, a purpose connected with how you use your consciousness.”
