In three words, I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: It goes on.

Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.

Love... is the honoring of others in a way that grants them the grace of their own autonomy.

It isn't just talent. You have to have something else. You have to have a kind of nerve.

Art is about finding creativity in the gutter next to you.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

I do not think it worth while to wait for enjoyment until there is some real opportunity for it.

Success isn’t about how your life looks to others; it’s about how it feels to you.

Attention is a moral act: It creates, brings aspects of things into being.
