You learn from a conglomeration of the incredible past - whatever experience gotten in any way whatsoever.

My opportunities were still there, nay, they multiplied tenfold; but the strength and youth to cope with them began to fail, and to need eking out with the shifty cunning of experience.

If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.

If you're gonna make connections which are innovative... you have to not have the same bag of experiences as everyone else does.

Experience is the only teacher we have. We may talk and reason all our lives, but we shall not understand a word of truth until we experience it ourselves.

Singing, it's like it's like loving somebody, it's a supreme emotional and physical experience.
