Unless you go forward then you are going back.

I would like to involve myself in some black music. I would like to do some blues and some gospel music. I want to try stuff from other genres and try to widen my musical base.

Still...you turn me on

There is no standing still because time is moving forward.

The greatest music is made for love, not for money.

Making a comeback is one of the most difficult things to do with dignity.

When you play music with someone who has a heart rather than playing with someone who is just doing it for money or is cynical it makes all the difference.

Music is an emotional experience, and that is what imprints itself on the soul.

I think for me, any great art is art which communicates human emotion.

I don't think art is a goal orientated business. I don't do things for the challenges, I only do them because I love them, I'm not really a goal orientated, achiever type of person.

I feel with ELP that I wasn't making the most of my life and I wasn't making the most of my creativity. I was marking time. I don't want to do that. Life is to short.

There is an underlying unity in all things

We had no choice. Sadness was a dangerous as panthers and bears. the wilderness needs your whole attention.

The pendulum swings between Light and Darkness

No oppressive order could permit the oppressed to being to question: Why?

America has enjoyed the doubtful blessing of a single-track mind.

Oh! lovely voices of the sky Which hymned the Saviour's birth, Are ye not singing still on high, Ye that sang, "Peace on earth"?

It invites a search for ultimate causes: why were Europeans, rather than Africans or Native Americans, the ones to end up with guns, the nastiest germs, and steel?

Privacy is a bourgeois fantasy.

There’s nothing left of me. I’m like a ruby held up to the sunrise. Is it still a stone, or a world made of redness? It has no resistance to sunlight.

I grow daily to honour facts more and more, and theory less and less. A fact, it seems to me, is a great thing; a sentence printed, if not by God, then at least by the Devil.
