Music comes to me more readily than words.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents.

I wish you music to help with the burdens of life ,and to help you release your happiness to others.

Don't only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets; art deserves that, for it and knowledge can raise man to the Divine.

Life would be flat without music. It is the background to all I do. It speaks to the heart in its own special way like nothing else.

To play without passion is inexcusable!

What I have in my heart and soul - must find a way out. That's the reason for music.

Then let us all do what is right, strive with all our might toward the unattainable, develop as fully as we can the gifts God has given us, and never stop learning

An artist is someone who has learned to trust in himself.

Nothing is more intolerable than to have to admit to yourself your own errors.

Hide your secret even from the closest friend; learn to be silent.

Every  person’s  life  should  include  one  reckless  moment.

Consider anything, only don’t cry!

When I was younger, there were moments where I said, 'I'm not going to have children.' And then moments when I wanted four. And now I definitely want another, but I don't know when.

Times are tough in the music industry, and now more than ever we need people like the team at Paste looking out for artists on the fringe of the mainstream.

When someone at peace and free from hurry enters a room, that person has a calming effect on everyone present.

Can the water in the valleys ever stop and rest? When the water finally reaches the sea, it becomes great waves.

Social progress makes the well-being of all more and more the business of each.

I am a sundial, and I make a botch Of what is done much better by a watch.

Never place a comma where God has placed a period. God has spoken!

It is a rather risky matter to discuss a happiness that has no need of words.
