When I graduated from high school, the teacher said I was throwing my life away following music, and the same teacher invited me back to speak at the school. I don't say that to brag, I just want to be an example.

It's clear that people are going to download media files, and they're going to talk to each other, and they're going to exchange information and knowledge and so forth. So this system logic is basically what you bounce off of.

Michael Nesmith

If your brains were dynamite there wouldn't be enough to blow your hat off.

Kurt Vonnegut

The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.

Eugene Delacroix

In my day, we didn't have self-esteem, we had self-respect... and no.

Jane Haddam

Perseverance, secret of all triumphs.

Victor Hugo

Human love has little regard for the truth. It makes the truth relative, since nothing, not even the truth, must come between it and the beloved person.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

But in Japanese, there's actually not much of a relationship between the music and the words.

Utada Hikaru

If you're in trouble, or hurt or need -- go to the poor people. They're the only ones that'll help -- the only ones.

John Steinbeck

Mankind which began in a cave and behind a windbreak will end in the disease-soaked ruins of a slum.

H. G. [Herbert George] Wells

It becomes simply magnificent.

Angela Carter

He who has begun has half done. Dare to be wise; begin.

Horace

By making a comeback, I'm changing the attitude of people toward me. If I'd known that people would react so enthusiastically, I'd have done it years ago.
