“I think music is what language once aspired to be. Music allows us to face God on our own terms because it reaches beyond life.”

“Language allows us to reach out to people, to touch them with our innermost fears, hopes, disappointments, victories. To reach out to people we'll never meet.It's the greatest legacy you could ever leave your children or your loved ones:The history of how you felt.”

“Music helps us understand where we have come from but, more importantly, what has happened to us.”

“Music is only a mystery to people who want it explained. Music and love are the same.”

“My old geography professor once told his class how the music, paintings, sculptures, and books of the world are mirror in which people see versions of themselves.”

“I think we keep these moments of rejection and acceptance very close. I think we carry them always, like cracked shells from which a part of us once hatched.”

“Hands have their own language.”
