Music that gentlier on the spirit lies, Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes.

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.

If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk through my garden forever.

'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

The shell must break before the bird can fly.

For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be.

I am a part of all that I have met.

I must lose myself in action, lest I wither in despair.

A lie that is half-truth is the darkest of all lies.

There lives more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half the creeds.

The white flower of a blameless life.

If knowledge is not democratized, power can never be.

Government! Government! What do I get for all I give, I'd like to know! Potholes and bombs!

I pride myself on being the guy who can do Def Comedy Jam and Charlie Rose. And do well on both.

We can't enchant the world, which makes its own magic; but we can enchant ourselves by paying deep attention

I'm fortunate that I've been in this business long enough that I've earned the right to be left alone by my record company.

If man has one good memory to go by, that may be enough to save him.

Whenever I'm home, I haven't got any makeup on. But even in the studio, before I do vocals, I put makeup on.

Life is not always like chess. Just because you have the king surrounded, don't think he is not capable of hurting you.

Let us return to 'no'. It has the charm of brevity.

I share their frustration at times and I get down just like them when we suffer a bad result.
