Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.

 Love is a friendship set to music.

A nice definition of an awakened person: a person who no longer marches to the drums of society, a person who dances to the tune of the music that springs up from within.

I'm so sorry for you; your lives have been so easy. You can't play great music unless your heart's been broken.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

To reach a port we must sail, sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it. But we must not drift or lie at anchor.

I believe that traditional wisdom is incomplete. A composer can have all the talent of Mozart and a passionate desire to succeed, but if he believes he cannot compose music, he will come to nothing. He will not try hard enough. He will give up too soon when the elusive right melody takes too long to materialize.

Musicians must make music, artists must paint, poets must write if they are to be ultimately at peace with themselves. What human beings can be, they must be. They must be true to their own nature. This need we may call self-actualization.

I would not give a fig for the simplicity on this side of complexity, but I would give my life for the simplicity on the other side of complexity.
