“Dreams can change histories and songs can alter destinies.”

“Things spoken can be forgotten and forgiven, but the written word has the power to change the course of history, to alter our lives.”

“What we call our destiny is truly our character and that character can be altered. The knowledge that we are responsible for our actions and attitudes does not need to be discouraging, because it also means that we are free to change this destiny. One is not in bondage to the past, which has shaped our feelings, to race, inheritance, background. All this can be altered if we have the courage to examine how it formed us. We can alter the chemistry provided we have the courage to dissect the elements.”

“Every man engaged in war tells himself he can alter what has been written, that it is he, not God, who is the maker of destiny, free to change what is meant to be.”

“Music's a powerful thing. A song can change your mood. Make a memory. One song can change your whole life.”

“you can't change your destiny! but you can create your own destiny!”
