What omniscience has music! So absolutely impersonal, and yet every sufferer feels his secret sorrow soothed.

“Common sense is as rare as genius.”
“Thefts never enrich; alms never impoverish; murder will speak out of stone walls. The least admixture of a lie-for example, the taint of vanity, the least attempt to make a good impression, a favorable appearance-will instantly vitiate the effect.”
“Let there be worse cotton and better men.”
More on Music
“The technical history of modern harmony is a history of growth of toleration by the human ear of chords that at first sounded discordant and senseless to the main body of contemporary professional musicians.”
“Music is my form of cleansing and introspection, so I have to grow in order to accomplish it.”
“My nails are my rhythm section when I'm writing a song all alone. Some day, I may cut an album, just me and my nails.”
More on Healing
“If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another. If you wish to know that you are safe, cause another to know that they are safe. If you wish to better understand seemingly incomprehensible things, help another to better understand. If you wish to heal your own sadness or anger, seek to heal the sadness or anger of another.”
“What hurts you, blesses you. Darkness is your candle.”
“The physician heals, Nature makes well.”
