“Every start on an untrodden path is a venture which only in unusual circumstances looks sensible and likely to succeed.”

“Happiness is the only thing that multiplies when you share it.”

“The the question whether I am a pessimist or an optimist, I answer that my knowledge is pessimistic, but my willing and hope are optimistic.”

“A marriage without children is the world without the sun.”

“I always say this about my music, and music in general: Music is like a time capsule. Each album reflects what I'm going through or what's going on in my life at that moment.”

“When one door closes, another one opens, but sometimes we wait too long looking at the closed door, and never realize that another door has been opened.”

“Beginning to think is beginning to be undermined. Society has but little connection with such beginnings. The worm is in man's heart. That is where it must be sought. One must follow and understand this fatal game that leads from lucidity in the face of existence to flight from light.”

“The question, O me! so sad, recurring - What good amid these, O me, O life? That you are here - that life exists and identity, that the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.”

“Art is the proper task of life.”
