From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2010-12-18:
"Music was a far bigger drug than smack. I could kick smack; I couldn't quit music. One note leads to another, and you never know what's going to come next, and you don't want to. It's like walking on a beautiful tightrope." -- Keith Richards, Rolling Stone and sometime heroin user, in his 2010 autobiography, Life. Richards was born December 18, 1943.
