[Donald Trump] is so unpredictable that foreigners are going to look around and say "boy, we've got to head for the safe havens." And one of the safe havens is Treasurys and [another is] the dollar.

Despite the recent conviction of many that we're headed back to inflation, I think deflation remains the more likely prospect. You've just got too much excess capacity in the world.

Investors aren't willing to accept the idea that we're in an era of lower returns.

Let's say [Donald] Trump wins. Is Congress going to let him build a wall on the Mexican border? I don't think so.

We've seen that in the past that where you've had uncertainty, and even where the Fed is raising rates, Treasurys rise as everybody heads for safety.

If someone loves you, they can fall out of love with you but they're probably going to keep fearing you. That's where we are with [Donald] Trump.

TPP is dead anyway, and similar deals in the eurozone are going nowhere.

Treasurys, as low as yields are, are higher than they are in most other developed countries.

We're in a pretty tumultuous world, and there's a lot of uncertainty. Treasurys are where people go as one of the few safe havens in the world.

The Fed wants to raise rates because they've been yelling and screaming about it. They've been crying wolf for so long that their credibility is shot, and I think they feel they need to.

If there were no goodness in people, mankind would still be confined to loping across a Savannah somewhere on Earth, watching the elephants rule, or some other more compassionate species.

Instead of loving your enemies treat your friends a little better.

The wind shrieks, the wind grieves; It dashes the leaves on walls, it whirls then again; And the enormous sleeper vaguely and stupidly dreams And desires to stir, to resist a ghost of pain.

I'm a thinker not a talker.

I think it all comes back to being very selfish as an artist. I mean, I really do just write and record what interests me and I do approach the stage shows in much the same way.

I've always wanted to be a cat. Warm and domesticated when you want to be, wild when you don't.

I had what can only be described as the worst voice in the history of music.

I shall never forgive you for teaching me how to love life.

No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
