"I want the gift of a guitar—no strings attached. I want your love to also have no strings attached—and be just as musical."

"I think music is what language once aspired to be. Music allows us to face God on our own terms because it reaches beyond life."

"My music is the spiritual expression of what I am — my faith, my knowledge, my being...When you begin to see the possibilities of music, you desire to do something really good for people, to help humanity free itself from its hangups...I want to speak to their souls."

"Our biological rhythms are the symphony of the cosmos, music embedded deep within us to which we dance, even when we can't name the tune."

"If you were music, I would listen to you ceaselessly, and my low spirits would brighten up."

"This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man."

"Writing about music is like dancing about architecture - it's really a stupid thing to want to do."

"One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words."

"I am telling you what I know—words have music and if you are a musician you will write to hear them."

"Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent"

"I’ve got some questions,Are you sick of feelin’ sorry?And people sayin’ not to worry?Sick of hearing this hakuna matata motto,From people who won the lotto,We’re not that lucky.Have you noticed that you’re breathing?Look around and count your blessings,So when you’re sick of all this stressin’ and guessin’I’m suggestin’ you turn this up and let them hear you sing it"

"You better start swimming, or you'll sink like a stone. Because the Time's they are a-changing."

"If life throws you a few bad notes or vibrations, don't let them interrupt or alter your song."

"I had a boyfriend who told me I’d never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I’d fail. I said to him, ‘Someday, when we’re not together, you won’t be able to order a cup of coffee at the fucking deli without hearing or seeing me."

"If music be the food of love, play on,Give me excess of it; that surfeiting,The appetite may sicken, and so die."

"Like most arts, the link between the mind and the pen can chain you like an enslaved workaholic. Even on an intended vacation you suddenly have this killer urge to record whatever the vacation may teach."

"The pianokeys are black and whitebut they sound like a million colors in your mind"

"‎"The less random stuff you hear about, the more room in your ears for music, that's what I always say"-Paisley"

"The vibrations on the air are the breath of God speaking to man's soul. Music is the language of God. We musicians are as close to God as man can be. We hear his voice, we read his lips, we give birth to the children of God, who sing his praise. That's what musicians are."

"I couldn't resist him, his eyes were like yours, his hair was exactly the shade of brown.He's just not as tall, but I couldn't tell, it was dark and I was lying down."
