<p>Music is always for the listener$$$ but the first listener is always the musician</p>

<p>And that's the soulful thing about playing: you offer something to somebody. You don't know if they'll like it$$$ but you offer it.</p>

<p>Bullies$$$ oppressors and all men who do violence to the rights of others are guilty not only of their own crimes$$$ but also of the corruption they bring into the hearts of their victims.</p>

<p>Our consciousness is feeble; only in moments of unusual clarity and vision do we really know about ourselves.</p>

<p>I tell them that if they will occupy themselves with the study of mathematics they will find in it the best remedy against the lusts of the flesh.</p>

<p>There are so many different kinds of stupidity$$$ and cleverness is one of the worst.</p>

<p>Art is the funnel$$$ as it were$$$ through which spirit is poured into life.</p>

<p>Lead from the back -- and let others believe they are in front.</p>

<p>Do not judge me by my successes$$$ judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.</p>

<p>Yeah$$$ fighting a war to fix something works about as good as going to a whorehouse to get rid of a clap.</p>
