"Whatsoever
things are true, whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good
report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,
think on these things."
-Bible
For a righteousman
falls seven times, and rises again.
- Proverbs 24:16
"Fear
is the first natural enemy one must overcome on the path to
knowledge. Besides, you are curious. That evens up the score.
And you will learn in spite of yourself; that is the rule."
"Conclusions
arrived at through reasoning have very little or no
influence in altering the course of our lives."
"Intent
is not a thought, or an object, or a wish. Intent is what
can make a man succeed when his thoughts tell him that he is
defeated. Intent is what sends a shaman through a wall, through
space, to infinity."
"All
paths are the same: they lead nowhere. However, a path
without a heart is never enjoyable. On the other hand, a path
with heart is easyÚit does not make a warrior work at
liking it; it makes for a joyful journey; as long as a man follows
it, he is one with it."
-Carlos Castaneda
"Successful
people make money. It's not that people who make money become
successful, but that successful people attract money. They bring
success to what they do."
-Wayne Dyer
"When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and
freak out and do anything they want to do."
"We
gotta keep on moving, keep on grooving...understand both sides
of the sky...'cause you've got your God and I got mine."
"Music makes me high on stage, and that's the truth. It's
like being almost addicted to music."
"I'm the one that has to die when its time for me to die,
so let me live my life the way I want to."
"You
have to forget about what other people say, when you're supposed
to die, or when you're supposed to be loving. You have to forget
about all these things. You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness
is like heaven."
"Music makes me high on stage, and that's the truth. It's
like being almost addicted to music."
"Music is the most important thing. I'm thinking of my
future. There has to be something new, and I want to be part
of it. I want to lead an orchestra with excellent musicians.
I want to play music which draws pictures of the world and its
space. Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed
in this world, then it can only happen through music."
"The problem with religion is they killed Jesus off too
soon. He was getting things together quite nicely and then they
killed him. Then they took the best things that he had to say
and twisted and changed them for their own benefit and gain.
That's why religion for the most part is so much hogwash."
"If I'm free, it's because I'm always running."
"That's alright, I still got my guitar"
-James Marshall Hendrix
"I
knew Jimi (Hendrix) and I think that the best thing you could
say about Jimi was: there was a person who shouldn't use drugs."
"In
the fight between you and the world, back the world."
-Frank Zappa
"John was sparked off by rhythms but more and more he tended
to set his own poetry, or often simply disconnect thoughts,
to music. When he woke up at seven o'clock one morning and couldn't
get back to sleep, he found the words "pools of sorrow,
waves of joy" going through his head. He got up and wrote
them out, writing about ten lines in all which eventually became
Across the Universe. I was just sitting, trying to think of
a song, and I thought of myself sitting there, doing nothing
and going nowhere. Once I'd thought of that, it was easy. It
all came out. No, I remember now, I'd actually stopped trying
to think of something. Nothing would come. ...and went for a
lie down, having given up. Then I thought of myself as Nowhere
Man - sitting in his nowhere land."
-John Lennon
"I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that
I may
learn how to do it."
-Pablo Picasso
"An
original
is a creation motivated by desire. Any reproduction of an originals
motivated be necessity. It is marvelous that we are the only
species that creates gratuitous forms. To create is divine,
to reproduce is human."
-Man Ray
"Love is the desire to do good to others."
-Urantia Book
