Zitate und Sprüche von Robert Plant

Boredom is the beginning of all destruction and everything that is negative.

Stairway to Heaven is a nice pleasant, well-meaning naive little song, very English. It's not the definitive Led Zeppelin song. Kashmir is.

I think that passion and love and pain are all bearable, and they go to make love beautiful.

The past is a stepping stone, not a millstone.

The whole idea of music, from the beginning of time, was for people to be happy.

All I can say is that it's amazing what you can accomplish when you're young and foolish.

Don't be hard on yourself. And take as many chances, risks, as you can!

I've never thought that I was gay. And that's not something you think. It's something you know.

I like the idea of being alone. I like the idea of often being alone in all aspects of my life. I like to feel lonely. I like to need things.

There are always generic terms like 'Americana', but there are no boundaries as to where it can go.

I think Led Zeppelin must have worn some of the most peculiar clothing that men had ever been seen to wear without cracking a smile.

My vocal style I haven't tried to copy from anyone. It just developed until it became the girlish whine it is today.

It's sort of a feeling of power onstage. It's really the ability to make people smile, or just to turn them one way or another for that duration of time, and for it to have some effect later on. I don't really think it's power... it's the goodness.

If you're a rock music fan trying to go vegetarian, Robert Plant makes a good alternative to Meat Loaf.

I like the Beatles, but I hate Paul McCartney. I like Led Zeppelin, but I hate Robert Plant. I like The Who, but I hate Roger Daltrey.

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

We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow

Oh, the sea was red, and the sky was grey
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today

Made up my mind to make a new start
Going to California with an aching in my heart
Someone told me there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair

And so today, my world, it smiles
Your hand in mine, we walk the miles
And thanks to you it will be done
For you to me are the only one

If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you
When mountains crumble to the sea
There will still be you and me

Ramble on, and now's the time, the time is now
To sing my song, I'm going 'round the world, I gotta find my girl
On my way, I've been this way ten years to the day
Ramble on, gotta find the queen of all my dreams

The leaves are falling all around, time I was on my way
Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay
But now it's time for me to go, the autumn moon lights my way
For now I smell the rain, and with it pain, and it's headed my way

The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new land
To fight the horde, sing and cry
Valhalla, I am coming

The duty of youth is to challenge corruption.

And I would do anything for love
I'd run right into hell and back
I would do anything for love
I'll never lie to you and that's a fact

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

We were too rough at the edges to be a pop group.

I am not gay. Although I wish I were, just to piss off homophobes.

Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away.

Someone will always be prettier.
Someone will always be smarter.
Someone will always be younger.
But they will never be you.

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

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

There's nothing glorious in dying. Anyone can do it.

It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
