Niccolo Machiavelli

I think my knowledge of music theory is rooted in jazz theory, and a lot of the writers of standards - Rodgers and Hart, and Gershwin.

Beauty is altogether in the eye of the beholder.

Lew Wallace

Every sunset which I witness inspires me with the desire to go to a west as distant and as fair as that into which the Sun goes down. He appears to migrate westward daily and tempt us to follow him.

Henry David Thoreau

Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.

Henry Kissinger

It may look perfect, but that's one thing I have learned about life is that it isn't always what it looks.

Aristotle

I don't change. The things around me change.
