"Sing it not in mournful numbers...." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“If there is confusion in your head and in your heart, what more do you want! A man who no longer loves and no longer errs should have himself buried straight away.”

“Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.”

“Rejoice that you have still have a long time to live, before the thought comes to you that there is nothing more in the world to see.”

“By means of music the very passions, enjoy themselves.”

“Architecture is crystallized music.”

“I felt like, what better way for people to understand me by taking the initiative in giving my real name, my name that moms taught me so y'all actually know what's going on in my life and my music.”

“Mine eyes are full of tears, my heart of grief.”

“I am not prone to weeping as our sex commonly are; the want of which vain dew perchance shall dry your pities;but I have that honorable grief lodged here which burns worse than tears drown.”

“Her laugh was sad and taciturn, seemingly detached from any feeling of the moment, like something she kept in the cupboard and took out only when she had to, using it with no feeling of ownership, as if the infrequency of her smiles had made her forget the normal way to use them.”
