What I am is good enough if I would only be it openly.

It is not enough to know your craft — you have to have feeling.

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.

Admire as much as you can, most people don't admire enough.

It isn't just talent. You have to have something else. You have to have a kind of nerve.

To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.

All you have to do is take a close look at yourself and you will understand everyone else.

Only one mountain can know the core of another mountain.

Don’t try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say.

Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful.

The excursion is the same when you go looking for your sorrow as when you go looking for your joy.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.
