Canuck Quotes: Bruce Cockburn

January 14, 2010 By Pat Williams

“When the Sept.11 thing happened and all that’s followed it, I felt first of all what good are songs in a context like this? Everything I’d written to that point seemed kind of meaningless. But then better judgement took hold and I realized that now more than ever we need to engage in the sharing of human experience.”

“On some level–you may be staring at your demons or staring at angels, or you may be making mud pies, I suppose– but you’re still looking something in the eye in order to create anything of value.”

“There is that invisible motion that’s central to existence. And it might even be true to say that is what God is.”
