Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him.

Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.

Management is nothing more than motivating other people.

Believe deep down in your heart that you're destined to do great things.

Any work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line.

We live trapped, between the churned-up and examined past and a future that waits for our work.

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

Money is like manure. You have to spread it around or it smells.

Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work.
