In whatsoever manner it be, let me turn to God and become fruitful in good works. Nothing higher exists than to approach God more than other people and from that to extend His glory among humanity.I will place all my confidence in your eternal goodness, O God! My soul shall rejoice in Thee, immutable Being. Be my rock, my light, forever my trust.

I will seize fate by the throat; it shall certainly never wholly overcome me.

I am resolved to rise superior to every obstacle. With whom need I be afraid of measuring my strength? I will take Fate by the throat. It shall not overcome me. O how beautiful it is to be alive - would that I could live a thousand times!

Music is the mediator between the life of the senses and the life of the spirit.

I have always reckoned myself among the greatest admirers of Mozart, and shall do so till the day of my death.

The guitar is an orchestra in itself.

Never forget the days I spent with you. Continue to be my friend, as you will always find me yours.
