i love johnny cash

"despite his penchant for black clothing and songs about murder, cash was an optimistic, loving, kind, and humorous person. anyone less in love with life would have soon been beaten down by the setbacks he suffered." [from "the man called cash"]

"there are times that i want to go off into the woods and cry, because what i feel is too big a load for me to carry," he once admitted. "we're only called to be christians, and i don't feel any special calling, but i seem to have been given much by God. and much seems to be required of me." [from "the man called cash"]

"the realm johnny cash lived in was clouded by pain and colored by grace ... it seemed like his devotion for life came from his devotion for God." [from "the man called cash"]
