To see both sides of a quarrel, is to judge without hate or alarm

Every day I'll wear your memory like a favorite shirt upon my back

Will there be any bartenders up there in Heaven, will the pubs never close?

I'm glad there are a lot of guitar players pursuing technique as diligently as they possibly can, because it leaves this whole other area open to people like me.

To stand up on a stage alone with an acoustic guitar requires bravery bordering on heroism. Bordering on insanity.

When you stand up acoustic in front of an audience, you really are a man without any clothes on. And that can be fun - it depends how much of an exhibitionist you are, I suppose. I quite enjoy it.

Ideas exist in the marketplace; they are thrown out for everyone to use.

You don't live forever, at least in this life.

The greatest human achievements have never been for profit.

I testify to rainbow feathers, to the span of heaven and walls of colour, the colonnades of jasper.

I'm probably my biggest critic. I worry that if you spend any quality time reveling in good things then karma will slap you upside the head, so I try to stay as even keel as I'm able.

If you're walking with somebody, you're heading in the same direction, and the spatial dance you're doing is a little more cooperative.
