Go ahead and do what you're doing..

I'm getting grumpier all the time..

It is hidden but always present..

I don't love everything I do, and I don't always like how I am in it. I'm not always pleased..

Unless you go forward then you are going back..

The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art..

I am not a neoconservative. I am pro-American..

A song can be more than words and music ... when sung with soul a song carries you to another world, to a place where no matter how much pain you fee….

It's not the words but the music that counts..

Dilettantism is the sort of thing one must avoid..

Neither fear nor resist change - cultivate it..

God never violates the trust we put in Him..

Music to me is life. It's what gets me going..

No part of your experience is wasted. Everything you've experienced so far is part of what you were meant to learn..

Secrecy is the soul of all great designs..

I never tried to kill myself or anything..

We are the sum total of our experiences..

Beauty exists where you least expect to find it..

I keep everything that's private private..

Suffering is the greatest treasure on earth; it purifies the soul. In suffering, we learn who our true friend is..

No faith is our own that we have not arduously won..
