“Tony looked around at the canvases and said: “You do not let anyone or anything stop something like this from blossoming in the world. To deny the world beauty like this is a sin, Brian.”

“‘The world doesn’t revolve around Tony [Iommi],’ he said. ‘There’ll be other guitarists.’He was a good guy, my old man. But this time he was wrong. There were no other guitarists.Not like Tony.”

“Do not ever let anyone make you feel like you're less. Do not ever let anyone make you feel like you're invisible. Do not let anyone push you around.”

“The world you live in is a lot like that broken-down house. Every single room has been dirtied and damaged by sin. Not one part of it shines with anything like the pure glory that was so evident when it was first made. Sin has left this world in a sorry condition. You see it everywhere you look.”

“Do you want to know the world? Then look at it closely. Do you want to like it? Then look at it from afar.”

“Do not let anyone stop you from succeding”
