Greatest Line Eddie Ever Wrote

I am a huge Pearl Jam/Eddie Vedder fan.
I think he is an amazing writer. What his words mean to us is ussually a personal interpretation which is the beauty behind art, music etc. However, I feel there are some often some genius of brevity that comes out of his pen, meanings that are universally understood, some more ambiguous..anyone have any favorites?
Feel free to share !

My personal favorites:
"Clouds roll by, reeling is what they say,
or is it just my way?" -Lowlight

"He who forgets, will be destined to remember"-Nothingman

mine are:

"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be the star in somebody else's sky why can't it be mine"

"a snowflake falls in may"

"nature has it's own religion, gospel of the land"

"first he was stripped, then he was stabbed by the faceless men well fuckers, he still stands"

"Hearts and thoughts they fade away"

Those are just a few! I love them all!

I've lived all this life,
Like an ocean in disguise..

hmmm....i can't think of a favourite just yet, but i will think hard about it and put it here as soon as i find it out

I think that it could be a toss up between a line from I got Shit, or a line from Light Years, or maybe Sad? Hmm...i dunno yet...

btw, i don't think Eddie wrote the lyrics to Nothingman, im sure Jeff wrote all that, and at the time it was written, apparantly Eddie was shocked at how beautiful the lyrics were when Jeff first gave them too him.

And also, seen as someone quoted a part from GTF, i would like to quote the following line, which is also as powerful:
"and he still gives his love- he just gives it way, the love he receives is the love that is saved..." i love that part.

Good choice with MOTH too, that is such a beautiful song..

The inbetween is mine
I am mine"

"Ransom paid the devil. He whispers pleasing words.
Triumphant are the angels if they can get there first."

Best line(s) ever.

"Don't need a hand,
There's always arms attached"

Eddie is so clever...

-dies to be part of the ground - cropduster
-every gain of sand equals, all the stars and everyone-rival
-there was a solemn man watched his twilight dissapear in the sand-evac
-feel the resonance of distance-insignificance

"The direction of the eye so misleading, the defection of the soul nausiously quick"

makes me feel like a teenager in high school again... oh Mary, you sure did steal my soul. he he.

"I'll swallow poison until I grow immune, I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room... how much difference does it make?"

Sorry to nitpick but rival was written by Stone, not Eddie. It does have amazing lyrics though and it is my fave off Binaural.
