Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

Every noble work is at first impossible.

We are all born worthy. Worthy of love, worthy of success.

If the risk is fully aligned with your purpose and mission, then it’s worth considering.

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it.

Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.

Endure, and keep yourselves for days of happiness.

I am all the things I have ever loved.

My only advice is to stay aware, listen carefully, and yell for help if you need it.

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

Some people try to destroy you, precisely because they recognize your power.

What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.
