I’m not surprised, but I never feel quite prepared.

Of course: brings the insufferable music, then goes - he’s like the 1980s.

Music is in no way just a mode of amusement and entertainment; it’s an integral part of my way of life - my mode of being in the world… Music we need when language fails us, but we cannot remain silent.

Nothing worth knowing can be understood with the mind.

The goal isn’t to live forever. The goal is to create something that will.

But it’s alright, ‘cause some enchanted night I’ll be with you.

(via austinspeaks)

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success.

Sometimes I feel like only a cold still life that fell down here to lay beside you.
