David Bowie is a 1969 album by rock musician David Bowie, released under that title by Philips in the UK, and by Mercury in the U.S. as Man of Words/Man of Music.

Famous quotes containing the words occasional and/or dream:

with waking thoughts. But really a novel goes as
dreams go in sleeping at night and some dreams are like

are not. And some dreams are just what any one would
do only a little different always just a little
different and that is what a novel is.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
