Music clouds the intellect but clarifies the heart.

Instant communication is not communication at all but merely a frantic, trivial, nerve-wracking bombardment of cliches, threats, fads, fashions, gibberish and advertising.

The longest journey begins with a single step, not with the turn of an ignition key. That’s the best thing about walking, the journey itself.
