If I were a 13-year-old and I wanted to create subversive art, I wouldn't go out and buy an electric guitar. I'd get myself a personal computer.

The man who never dreams, goes slowly mad.

It's been over 15 years since I toured... over 12 years since I did any recording under my own name. I never really intended to take that long of a hiatus.

The foolishness of old age does not characterize all who are old, but only the foolish.

The bulk of mankind have indeed, in all countries in their turn, been made the prey of ambition.

Clear the mind of all worldly things. If you can't control your mind, how will you realize God?
