An artist conscientiously moves in a direction which for some good reason he takes, putting one work in front of the other with the hope he'll arrive before death overtakes him.

If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all.

To accept whatever comes, regardless of the consequences, is to be unafraid.

Everything you do is music, and everywhere is the best seat.

The attitude I take is that everyday life is more interesting than forms of celebration, when we become aware of it. That when is when our intentions go down to zero. Then suddenly you notice that the world is magical.

Why do you not do as I do? Letting go of your thoughts as though they were the cold ashes of a long dead fire?

Good music can act as a guide to good living.
