"Impulse is, after all, the best linguist;..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“The wise are not so much wiser than others as respecters of their own wisdom.”

“Tough times don't last but tough people do.No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everybody on the couch.Men are born to succeed, not fail.”

“The majority of the men of the North, and of the South and East and West, are not men of principle. If they vote, they do not sendmen to Congress on errands of humanity; but while their brothers and sisters are being scourged and hung for loving liberty,... it is the mismanagement of wood and iron and stone and gold which concerns them.”

“I don't understand anything technical about music at all. I don't understand any of it, why you can't put these sounds together with those sounds. I only know what sounds good.”

“Sometimes you have intuitive insight about how you think things are going to be, and you write that. Other times you fantasize completely, which has nothing to do with predicting the future.”

“I do not concern myself with being unique, and I do not concern myself with success. I feel I just do and say what I am supposed to. I do not know where it comes from. I go where I am told, and I just allow whatever it is to come out.”

“To care only for well-being seems to me positively ill-bred. Whether it’s good or bad, it is sometimes very pleasant, too, to smash things.”

“A passion-driven exultant man sings outSentences that he has never thought.”

“A woman's thought runs before her actions.”
