When you are optimistic, when you are not complaining, when you look at the good side of your life, everybody loves you.

Life is beautiful. You have to be thankful that we are living. Wherever you look is beauty. I know about the bad things, but I look for the good things.

It depends on me whether life is good or not. Not on life, on me.

And life is beautiful, love is beautiful, nature and music are beautiful. Everything we experience is a gift, a present we should cherish and pass on to those we love.

Music saved my life and music saves me still...

Hatred eats the soul of the hater, not the hated.

Music was our way of remembering our inner selves, our values.

I have lived through many wars and have lost everything many times Yet, life is beautiful, and I have so much to learn and enjoy. I have no space nor time for pessimism and hate.

The worst thing in life is boredom. When people don't know what to do with themselves, they are very, very poor.

I felt that this is the only thing which helps me to have hope... a sort of religion, actually. Music is God.

Music was our food... When we can play, it can't be so terrible. The music, the music!

Creativity is one of the highest transmissions of love.

Action is consolatory. It is the enemy of thought and the friend of flattering illusions.

And the English army, wheeling, started south at a gallop over the hill pass into Ettrick, followed by twenty men and eight hundred sheep in steel helmets.

Every fear, every night terror, every hour I cried for Liev, every fight with Sebastian is registered as a neat white scar.

I personally subscribe to the belief that normal is just a setting on the dryer.

Let us a little permit nature to take her own way; she better understands her own affairs than we.

Christopher Guest movies are my top of the line favorites.

Music was born of love. Had there never been any human affection, there never could have been uttered a strain of music.

What it comes down to is that modern society discriminates against the right hemisphere.

Try to live with a generous heart. Doing anything else is too hard.
