Pocket Bowie Wisdom
Pocket Bowie Wisdom | David Bowie, Hardie Grant London Staff
7 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
'I'm just a cosmic yob, I suppose.' 'I change every day. I'm not outrageous. I'm David Bowie.' 'I'm an instant star. Just add water and stir.' Genre-hopping, gender-bending: Bowie has never been afraid to push the boundaries. Whether masquerading as an alien, a spaceman or a goblin king, this rock 'n' roll hero was a true visionary. The death of the Man Who Fell to Earth shook fans around the world, but his influence lives on. Pocket Bowie Wisdomis full of insights into music, identity, fame, style, love and creativity from one of the most pioneering musicians of all time. This collection of quotes makes a perfect gift for the Bowie fan in your life.

A cute little book of Bowie-isms. I think he always had a playful, knowing side to him, even during his most earnest and artily pretentious phases, but as he grew into maturity and older age he definitely didn't take himself too seriously, though obviously his work was always an important part of his life. I do miss him 🖤🧡🖤

"I am only the person the greatest number of people think I am."

That's got me thinking - I can see how that can be true in relation to the public image of a celebrity. I guess it can be true for anyone if we allow it to be.

I love these little books!
I miss David Bowie.
Nice and quick one sitting read,
Get to know him a little more through his quotes from music, fame to his identity.

I absolutely adore Bowie. All that he was and all that he stood for are awesome and inspirational, right up to the time of his passing. One of my greatest regrets is that I never got the chance to see him live in concert.

I‘m NOT visiting any bookshops this birthday week, but I think I may have found my new favorite store downtown.

It‘s full of subversive, snarky feminist & equality merch and I lurve it all!

An entire book devoted to David Bowie quotes conveniently separated by categories like Music, Identity, and Love? All the yes!
