The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.

The Worldly Hope men set their Hearts upon Turns Ashes—or it prospers; and anon, Like Snow upon the Desert's dusty Face, Lighting a little hour or two—is gone.

I want my music to make people feel like they're in a movie.

对于自己没有获得2009年诺贝尔奖的反应

痛苦是暂时的，但骄傲是永恒的。
