The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.

The only limits in life are the ones you set for yourself.

You can't just sit there and wait for people to give you that golden dream. You've got to get out there and make it happen for yourself.

The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

Love is the inspiration behind most of my music.
