Fear closes all doors to the true self, that brilliant center where the ecstasy lies.

Nothing in music is hard, just unfamiliar.

If one's life depends on doing something right, as in the case of the tightrope walker, one will practice on a much deeper level.

It is good to view things as familiar or unfamiliar, rather than as difficult or easy.

Ultimately, musicians of the world must come to realize the potential of their calling... If the musician is illuminated from within, he becomes a lamp that lights other lamps.

Music can shoot through the musician like lightening through the sky if that music is unobstructed by thoughts.

Fear closes all doors to the true self, that brilliant center where the ecstasy lies.
