Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion between supposed lovers, between supposed brothers.

I am committed to my art. I believe that all art has as its ultimate goal the union between the material and the spiritual, the human and the divine. I believe that to be the reason for the very existence of art. And I feel I was chosen as an instrument to just give music and love and harmony to the world. To children of all ages, and adults and teenagers.... I love people of all races from my heart, with true affection.

Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don't give up the fight.

It take a joyful sound to make a world go round.

Don't gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold.

I've got to admit it's getting better. It's a little better all the time.
