The best Quotes by Roger Daltrey

I don't miss London much. I find it crowded, vast and difficult to get around. Cabs are incredibly expensive.

London. The beating heart of England.

England is my home. London is my home. New York feels like, if I have to spend a year living in an unfamiliar city, this is a pretty lovely one to spend a year in, but I will be going home at the end of it, certainly.

Fashion needs fresh blood, and London is the most creative place for that.

The duty of youth is to challenge corruption.

I know it's true
It's all because of you
And if you go away
I know you could never stay

I know it's true
It's all because of you
And if I make it through
It's all because of you

And now and then
If we must start again
Well, we will know for sure
That I love you

Little darling
It's been a long, cold, lonely winter
Little darling
It feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun
And I say, "It's alright"

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one, and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll

And she's buying a stairway to Heaven

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter

There's a feeling I get when I look to the West
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock

Someone will always be smarter.
Someone will always be younger.

You don't need me to tell you what's gone wrong
You know what's going on
And it seems to me we've not cared enough
Or confided in each other at all
It seems like we've all got our backs against the wall

Time waits for nobody
Time waits for no one
We've got to trust one another
Or we'd have no more future at all

This skull between my ears, that is a bad neighbourhood. I should not be in there alone.

You're constantly trying to prove yourself, even after you've made it.

Someday we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny.

Oh, cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tight, but she'll make it alright
