A man without patience is a lamp without oil.

I've had only three wives and three guitars in my life, though I've flirted with others.

The piano is a monster that screams when you touch its teeth.

Among God's creatures two, the dog and the guitar, have taken all the sizes and all the shapes, in order not to be separated from the man.

I was my own teacher and pupil, in a comradeship so firm and persevering that the most trying incidents of my life served only to strengthen the union.

When I started to play with my fingernails, it was not just for volume. The most important thing was giving the guitar different colors in its voices.
