I'm a long-term optimist, and I don't think the problems with our society are from being overly optimistic.

It has been said that the United States was deceived into entering and expanding the Vietnam War by its own overoptimistic propaganda.

I see love, like art, as an obsession. Maybe that's an overly romantic view of human existence, but I'm an overly romantic human being. If love, like rock and roll, doesn't consume me 24-7, it's not love. It can be respect, appreciation, admiration, wonderment, it can be a world of glory and a lifetime of peace, but I can't call it love. Love burns me and confuses me. Love's a light that can't be extinguished.

Scott Weiland
