“Come oh come ye tea-thirsty restless ones -the kettle boils, bubbles and sings, musically.”

The water in a vessel is sparkling; the water in the sea is dark. The small truth has words which are clear; the great truth has great silence.

I have lost my dewdrop , cries the flower to the morning sky that lost all its stars.

Reach high, for stars lie hidden in you. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance

Love adorns itself; it seeks to prove inward by outward beauty.

If I can’t make it through one door, I’ll go through another door- or i’ll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present.

The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence.

Love is an endless mystery, because there is no reasonable cause that could explain it.

Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it.

I have spent many days stringing and unstringing my instrument while the song I came to sing remains unsung.

Not hammer-strokes, but dance of the water, sings the pebbles into perfection.

We cross infinity with every step; we meet eternity in every step.

Love’s gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted.

Don’t limit a child to your own learning, for she was born in another time.

The stars are not afraid to appear like fireflies.

The small wisdom is like water in a glass, clear, transparent, pure. The great wisdom is like the water in the sea: dark, mysterious, impenetrable.

I don’t really write. I’m an on-the-spot type of person. This beat, let’s listen to it; let’s vibe. And then I’ll do a melody, and then we’ll go back and do it.

Music fills the infinite between two souls

Music is what I love, take that away from me and I really got nothing.

There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music.

When I’m dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance.

I’m the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life. It’s awful. If I’m on my way to the store to buy a magazine, even, and somebody asks me where I’m going, I’m liable to say I’m going to the opera. It’s terrible.

I think of Westernized culture as a good visual for my music.

I design music; I don’t produce it.
