If you assume you haven't learned anything yet, there's no reason your playing can't stay dynamic all your life.

There is a subtle danger in a man thinking that he is "fixed" for life. It indicates that the next jolt of the wheel of progress is going to fling him off.

The truth is that the naysayers in your life can never be fully satisfied. Whether you hide or shine, they'll always feel threatened because they don't believe they are enough. So stop paying attention to them.

The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be.

It makes no difference how many peaks you reach if there was no pleasure in the climb.

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.
