I want to be the force which is truly for good.

One positive thought produces millions of positive vibrations.

Invest yourself in everything you do. There's fun in being serious.

The real risk is not changing. I have to feel that I'm after something. If I make money, fine. But I'd rather be striving. It's the striving, man, it's that I want.

God breathes through us so completely...So gently we hardly feel it...yet it is our everything.

Starting in the middle of a musical sentence and moving in both directions at once.

I'd like to point out to people the divine in a musical language that transcends words. I want to speak to their souls.

My music is the spiritual expression of what I am: my faith, my knowledge, my being.

I think music is an instrument. It can create the initial thought patterns that can change the thinking of people.

Damn the rules, it's the feeling that counts.

You can play a shoestring if you're sincere.

Just being alive should make you late for everything. In case you've never noticed, the dead are always on time.

I never lie. I believe everything I say, so it's not a lie.

Isn't it weird the way you remember things, when someone's gone?

As cold waters to a thirsty soul so is good news from a far country.

You have your private life and you have your public life, and just don’t let them interfere.

There are souls which fall from heaven like flowers, but ere they bloom are crushed under the foul tread of some brutal hoof.

Screw State! State's always on the side of the blacks. The hell with them!

Your thoughts are a veil on the face of the Moon. That Moon is your heart, and those thoughts cover your heart. So let them go, just let them fall into the water.

Despite the impression you may have from watching too much TV, movies are not about reproducing reality. Theyre about telling stories.

Kids need to think that you care before they care what you think.
