Life is a train that stops at no stations; you either jump abroad or stand on the platform and watch as it passes.

Get a grip on yourself. there's only one god here on earth, and that's you. If you don't like the world, make one you like better.

We've already been killed, all of us. It happened so long ago, we've forgotten it.

The man who let the love of his life pass him by will end up alone with his regrets and all the sighs in the world won't soothe his soul.

Music is the true breath of life. We eat so we won't starve to death. We sing so we can hear ourselves live.

Culture is always about politics in the end.

Of course, I'm aware of the animosities destroying brain cells on both sides, and I know all about the obstinacy of the warring parties, their refusal to reach an agreement, their devotion to their own murderous hatred.
