“Music always reminded him of the voice of God, for it needed no translation and could reach and renew the soul like very few other things could.”

“And what good's a life that leaves nothing behind/Not a thought or a dream that might echo in time.”

“She's sweet on Wagner.I think she'd die for Beethoven.she loves the way Puccini lays down a tune,and Verdi's always creeping from her room.”

“Hold on tight to your dream”

“Music was a balm for any weary soul. It could either lift a person out of the doldrums or comfort him if there was no other solace to be had.”

“With our music, and music that we popularize, we try to reach out and remind people that, when taken out of the hands of a parasite, music is still a great lead into a democratic atmosphere of chaos, where moments of great freedom and where great friends could be found. And that in the world of rapidly dissolving authentic cultures, soul-searching through the music is something that connects you with the most authentic thing there - your savage heart.”

“When you face adversity, you need to remind yourself that whatever is trying to defeat you could very well be what God will use to promote you.”
