Life's greatest comfort is being able to look over your shoulder and see people worse off$$$ waiting in line behind you.

Our major obligation is not to mistake slogans for solutions.

Forgive me$$$ Majesty. I am a vulgar man! But I assure you$$$ my music is not.

It is a mistake to think that the practice of my art has become easy to me. I assure you$$$ dear friend$$$ no one has given so much care to the study of composition as I. There is scarcely a famous master in music whose works I have not frequently and diligently studied.

Life's a song$$$ sing it.

How deluded we sometimes are by the clear notions we get out of books. They make us think that we really understand things of which we have no practical knowledge at all.

If a double decker bus crashes into us. To die by your side$$$ oh the pleasure$$$ the prvilige is mine.

I miss you so much$$$ I can't stand it<br>Feels like my heart is breaking in two<br>My head says no$$$ but my soul demands it<br>And everything I do$$$ reminds me of you.

It wasn't a miracle. Bestowed by God. It was a mercy. Offered by a human.

I don't believe any real artists have ever been non-political. They may have been insensitive to this particular plight or insensitive to that$$$ but they were political$$$ because that's what an artist is: a politician.
