“L.O.V.E. Such a good word. Such a limitless word. Such a limitless concept.”

Life is a great and wondrous mystery, and the only thing we know that we have for sure is what is right here right now. Don’t miss it.

Most of us are pawns in a game of love we don’t understand.

Everybody needs a hug. It changes your metabolism.

Love is not a thing, it is not lost when given. You can offer your love completely to hundreds of people and still retain the same love you had originally.

You are the only you. You are the best you. You will always be the second best anyone else.

In the end you have only you.

Anything that is learned can be unlearned and relearned.

Love is like a mirror. When you love another you become his mirror and he becomes yours. And reflecting each other’s love you see infinity.

A life lived in love will never be dull.

Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.

Every moment spent in unhappiness is a moment of happiness lost.

One does not fall “in” or “out” of love. One grows in love.

A life of love is one of continual growth, where the doors and windows of experience are always open to the wonder and magic that life offers. To love is to risk living fully.

Life is uncharted territory. It reveals its story one moment at a time.

You are a special combination for a purpose.

Success often lies just the other side of failure.

Maybe it’s a little more pertinent now since the whole concept of evolution is being questioned by the know-nothing Republican right. Yes, maybe the play’s a little more pertinent now.

Fate and temperament are the names of a concept.

I can show you that I have played with just about every jazz musician, every African musician, every blues musician. It’s not like I’m cashing in on a false concept. This is what I do.

The concept is to weave in some emotion.

I’m fulfilled in what I do. I never thought that a lot of money or fine clothes – the finer things of life – would make you happy. My concept of happiness is to be filled in a spiritual sense.

Concepts of well-being for countries, for peoples and for individuals are changing. In such a world, to argue for rules that never change would be to deny the reality found in scientific knowledge and reasoned judgment.

A concept is a brick. It can be used to build a courthouse of reason. Or it can be thrown through the window.

I’ve always felt like I was observing everything, like I’m just looking out of the window, peeping how everybody is living and just penning about it, so I made the album about that concept.
