All art is autobiographical; the pearl is the oyster’s autobiography.

Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

The greatest reward of righteousness is peace of mind.

There are times when dreams sustain us more than facts.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Change — real change — comes from the inside out.

Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.

Show up, show up, show up, and after a while the muse shows up, too.

I never practice, I always play.

All mistakes teach us something, so there are, in reality, no mistakes.

Let frustration fuel inspiration.
