Music rearranges your molecular structure.

If You're going to sweep the floor, sweep it better than anybody in town. And if You're going to play the guitar, really, really, really get in it, and don't be jivin'.

Angels cry because they want to experience what you and I feel: the moment. They live in eternity. They dont know what it is like to read a newspaper and get ink on your fingers. They dont know what it is like to take your shoes off and wiggle your toes under the dinner table.

Your wrinkles either show that you're nasty, cranky, and senile, or that you're always smiling.

When you are in your heart of hearts, you can see beyond appearances.

Some songs are just like tattoos for your brain... you hear them and they're affixed to you.

There's a melody in everything. And once you find the melody, then you connect immediately with the heart. Because sometimes English or Spanish, Swahili or any language gets in the way. But nothing penetrates the heart faster than the melody.
