I had already done Rainbow in Curved Air and had a big record on CBS. I was launched to have a long career and then I just dropped out and went to India.

Acceleration is finite, I think, according to some laws of physics.

Essentially my contribution was to introduce repetition into Western music as the main ingredient without any melody over it, without anything just repeated patterns, musical patterns.

It's not what happens to you in life that matters; what matters is how you deal with it!

It's today I must be living.

Sometimes... Sometimes our hearts...crack a little.

Relations between parents and children and siblings and mates. This is not external. We can't separate them.

Love is the white light of emotion.

Contempt is not a thing to be despised.

The great interests of man: air and light, the joy of having a body, the voluptuousness of looking.

It should be illegal to yell 'Y2K' in a crowded economy.

One just needs a little alertness to see and find out: Life is really a great cosmic laughter.

Don't let fear decide your future.
