"Technique is really personality. That is the..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“A mutual misunderstanding.”

“A publisher is simply a useful middle-man.”

“A pessimist is somebody who complains about the noise when opportunity knocks.”

“Accursed who brings to light of day the writings I have cast away.”

“Dancing in all its forms cannot be excluded from the curriculum of all noble education; dancing with the feet, with ideas, with words, and, need I add that one must also be able to dance with the pen?”

“Dostoevsky gives me more than any scientist, more than Gauss.”

“Technique is really personality. That is the reason why the artist cannot teach it, why the pupil cannot learn it, and why the aesthetic critic can understand it. To the great poet, there is only one method of music - his own. To the great painter, there is only one manner of painting - that which he himself employs. The aesthetic critic, and the aesthetic critic alone, can appreciate all forms and all modes. It is to him that Art makes her appeal.”

“There are lots of really good guitarists, but they play with the same pedals that everybody else does. Everybody buys the same pedals, so the sounds tend to be the same. I am looking for different ways of doing that without having to spend days and weeks and months fooling around with pedals, which I don't enjoy.”

“Remember, you are expressing the techniques and not doing the techniques.”
