Sometimes I find the best way of getting from one place to another is simply to erase everything and begin again.

You see, it's really quite simple. A simile is just a mode of comparison employing 'as' and 'like' to reveal the hidden character or essence of whatever we want to describe, and through the use of fancy, association, contrast, extension, or imagination, to enlarge our understanding or perception of human experience and observation.

We never choose which words to use, for as long as they mean what they mean to mean, we don’t care if they make sense or nonsense.

I remember when I was a kid in school and teachers would explain things to me about what I read, and I'd think, Where did they get that? I didn't read that in there. Later you look at it and think, That's kind of an interesting idea

You can't improve sound by having only silence. The problem is to use each at the proper time.

Expect everything, I always say, and the unexpected never happens.
