I did what I knew.. when I knew better, I did better

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

Let me tell so much truth. I want to tell the truth in my work. The truth will lead me to all.

You may not get what you paid for, but you will pay for what you get.

Self-pity in its early stage is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.

I am convinced that courage is the most important of all the virtues. Because without courage, you cannot practice any other virtue consistently. You can be kind for a while; you can be generous for a while; you can be just for a while, or merciful for a while, even loving for a while. But it is only with courage that you can be persistently and insistently kind and generous and fair.

Life loves the liver of it.
