What people fear most about tragedy is its randomness - a taxi cab jumps the curb and hits a pedestrian, a gun misfires and kills a bystander. Better to have some rational cause and effect between incident and injury. And if cause and effect aren't possible, better that there at least be some reward for all the suffering.

I wanted to make Jerusalem as feature film. But we couldn't finance it only through theatrical release, we couldn't get all the money we needed. We had to get some money from television. So we said, ok, let's do it both ways. So we did it in four parts.

Bille August

Don't live by my words, don't die by them, chew them slowly digest them, and smile if they give nourishment to your soul.

Stanley Victor Paskavich

Essential to life, is desiring the things that you need, than needing the things you desire.

Anthony Liccione

Faith, sir, we are here today, and gone tomorrow.

Aphra Behn

Pop changes week to week, month to month. But great music is like literature.

Ravi Shankar

It's not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.

John Wooden

Now, we occupy a lowly position, both in space and rank in comparison with the heavenly sphere, and the Almighty is Most High not in space, but with respect to absolute existence, greatness and power.

Maimonides

We're not uncomfortable with it, and we've already been through enough of the music business where I'm not really worried that commercial success is going to in some way - we're already past saving, you know what I mean? It's too late for us.

Jerry Garcia

Measure what can be measured, and make measurable what cannot be measured.

Galileo Galilei

I cannot give a single concert at which I do not play one piece after the other in an agony of terror because my memory threatens to fail me. This fear torments me for days beforehand.

Clara Schumann

We say, sorrow, disaster, calamity. God says, chastening and it sounds sweet to him though it is a discord to our ears. Don't faint when you are rebuked, and don't despise the chastening of the Lord. In your patience possess your souls.

Oswald Chambers
