“Music is the literature of the heart; it commences where speech ends.”

“So many things are possible as long as you don’t know they are impossible.”

“Music, once admitted to the soul, becomes a sort of spirit, and never dies.”

Even when you have doubts, take that step. Take chances. Mistakes are never a failure—they can be turned into wisdom.      

“Every now and then I like to do as I’m told just to confuse people.”

“We write in response to what we read and learn; and in the end we write out of our deepest selves.”
