“There’s a desire in me to express something – to match what I hear in my head.”

Like a fool, I fell in love with you, Turned my whole world upside down.

Music became a healer for me.

Although they can do it all the time, you know, they’re far better than me, on a musically, on a theoretical music level. You know, they’re out of my league.

My original interests and intentions in guitar playing were primarily created on quality of tone, for instance, the way the instrument could be made to echo or simulate the human voice.

If you hand me a guitar, I’ll play the blues. That’s the place I automatically go.

I like solitude. I like the anomalous life. I like a quiet life.

There is no artifice as good and desirable as simplicity.

What indicates a person’s weak religion and fear of God, is that he seeks for an opinion that suits his desire.

I desire very little, but the things I do consume me.

I desire your design for me, lord. Make of me what you will.

Desire to see God, be fearful of losing Him, and find joy in everything that can lead to Him. If you act in this way, you will always live in great peace.

Where there is desire there is going to be a flame where there is a flame someones bound to burned just because it burns doesn’t mean your going to die you gotta get up and try, try, try

Most people think that shadows follow, precede or surround beings or objects. The truth is that they also surround words, ideas, desires, deeds, impulses and memories.

Now go peacefully wherever you desire. The sun follows you.
