There was a German philosopher who is very well known, his name was Immanuel Kant, and he said there are two things that don’t have to mean anything, one is music and the other is laughter. Don’t have to mean anything that is, in order to give us deep pleasure.

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

Let no one imagine that in owning a recording he has the music. The very practice of music is a celebration that we own nothing.

All God's religions ... have not been able to put mankind back together again.

In that case I will devote my life to beating my head against that wall.

I like being moved. I don't like being pushed.

The Indians long ago knew that music was going on permanently and that hearing it was like looking out a window at a landscape which didn't stop when one turned away.
