“Music is forever. Music is life. Music is something worth believing in...Music is my words, my soul...my muse.”

“Music is LIFE and the written word is our SOUL...”

“Modern man is full of platitudes about living life to its fullest, with catchy keychain phrases and little plaques for kitchen walls. But if you've never retreated to the solitude of a dark room and listened to Beethoven's Ninth from start to finish, you know nothing. For music is a transcendental exploration of human emotion and experience, the very fabric of life in its purest form. And the Ninth our greatest musical achievement.”

“I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music”

“Life without music is unthinkable. Life without music is academic. That is why my contact with music is a total embrace.”

“My music will go on forever. Maybe it's a fool say that, but when me know facts me can say facts. My music will go on forever.”

“Thank God for books and music and things I can think about.”
