I'm a bit of an insomniac. I go to bed at 5am because I get caught up in watching TV or listening to music at night.

Music is love, love is music, music is life, and I love my life. Thank you and good night.

And when no hope was left inside on that starry, starry night, you took your life as lovers often do. But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

When people ask me what 'American Pie' means, I tell them it means I don't ever have to work again if I don't want to.

In a sense, 'American Pie' was a very despairing song but it can also be seen as very hopeful.

Starry, starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze, swirling clouds in violet haze reflect Vincent's eyes of china blue.

A leader who is through learning is through.

He who destroys another person to succeed in life will have destruction awaiting him at the post of his success.

There are certain life lessons that you can only learn in the struggle.

The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.

If you consider that a single straight line can be drawn between any two points, one day I'm going to draw a line from him to me or me to him.

An orchestra knows during the first two minutes of the first rehearsal whether or not they are going to enjoy the person on the podium.

Those that walk with fear will always be too busy hiding.

Pray in the night so that you can change the world in the day

The elementary school must assume as its sublime and most solemn responsibility the task of teaching every child in it to read. Any school that does not accomplish this has failed.
