Music is only a mystery to people who want it explained. Music and love are the same.

I suppose the key to a good life is to gently overlook the truth and hope that at any moment we can all be reborn.

It’s the greatest legacy you could ever leave your children or your loved ones: the history of how you felt.

We see in others what we want and what we fear.

When small drops began to fall and darken the world in penny-shaped circles, no one around him scurried for cover. For lonely people, rain is a chance to be touched.

Love requires imagination more than experience.

Everything that we love will, at some point, be taken away from us. If I think about everyone I love eventually being taken away from me by death, or simply by getting lost from each other in the world, it makes me value them much more now. And I'm much less likely to be indifferent. For me, indifference is the end of life.
