A great poet is the most precious jewel of a nation.

I love a tree more than a man.

I can do nothing but think of you... What have you done to me? Can't you remove the spell you have cast over me?

But what a humiliation for me when someone standing next to me heard a flute in the distance and I heard nothing, or someone standing next to me heard a shepherd singing and again I heard nothing. Such incidents drove me almost to despair; a little more of that and I would have ended my life - it was only my art that held me back.

The guitar is an orchestra in itself.

My heart is full of many things there are moments when I feel that speech is nothing after all.

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.
