Poets are shameless with their experiences: they exploit them.

The answers keep unfolding as your life expands, if you're willing to see things for what they are-and what they can be.

As I get older, I get smaller. I see other parts of the world I didn't see before. Other points of view. I see outside myself more.

Character is determined more by the lack of certain experiences than by those one has had.

Life is a journey that's measured not in miles or years but in experiences, and the route your life takes is built not of roads but of songs.

There are some experiences in life which should not be demanded twice from any man, and one of them is listening to the Brahms Requiem.
