I am not so complicated or intelligent a composer, nor am I very interested in becoming so. I am much more happy doing what I know I can do than what I am not sure I could do.

Disco is music for dancing, and people will always want to dance.

The Living God alone can make us living men; the mighty God alone can make us mighty men; the loving God alone can make us consecrated men.

A man who says that men are machines may be a great scientist. A man who says he is a machine is 'depersonalized' in psychiatric jargon.
