Love me or hate me, both are in my favor...If you love me, I'll always be in your heart... If you hate me, I'll always be in your mind.

Go to your bosom; Knock there, and ask your heart what it doth know.

In a conflict between the heart and the brain, follow your heart.

Memories which someday will become all beautiful when the last annoyance that encumbers them shall have faded out of our minds.

The world don't need any more songs... As a matter of fact, if nobody wrote any songs from this day on, the world ain't gonna suffer for it... There's enough songs for people to listen to, if they want to listen to songs. For every man, woman and child on earth, they could be sent, probably, each of them, a hundred songs, and never be repeated... Unless someone's gonna come along with a pure heart and has something to say. That's a different story.

Songs should follow the state of mind of the actor on screen. It can be grammatically perfect, you know, with all those embellishments that the ustads are good at, only if you're singing for a film on, say, the life of Tansen.
