I dress to kill, but tastefully.

It's not a concert you are seeing, it's a fashion show.

I think my melodies are superior to my lyrics.

We're a bit flashy, but the music's not one big noise.

I'm just a musical prostitute, my dear.

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.

One man cannot hold another man down in the ditch without remaining down in the ditch with him.

Daylight, full of small dancing particles and the one great turning, our souls are dancing with you, without feet, they dance. Can you see them when I whisper in your ear?

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don’t go back to sleep.

"A single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us. To live is to be slowly born."

Sometimes when I meet old friends, it reminds me how quickly time passes. And it makes me wonder if we've utilized our time properly or not. Proper utilization of time is so important. While we have this body, and especially this amazing human brain, I think every minute is something precious. Our day-to-day existence is very much alive with hope, although there is no guarantee of our future. There is no guarantee that tomorrow at this time we will be here. But we are working for that purely on the basis of hope. So, we need to make the best use of our time. I believe that the proper utilization of time is this: if you can, serve other people, other sentient beings. If not, at least refrain from harming them. I think that is the whole basis of my philosophy. So, let us reflect what is truly of value in life, what gives meaning to our lives, and set our priorities on the basis of that. The purpose of our life needs to be positive. We weren't born with the purpose of causing trouble, harming others. For our life to be of value, I think we must develop basic good human qualities—warmth, kindness, compassion. Then our life becomes meaningful and more peaceful—happier.”

Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities.

One flower is beautiful, a surfeit of flowers is vulgar.

The world is not dangerous because of those who do harm but because of those who look at it without doing anything.

This is quite natural: everybody likes to do that for which he has a talent.

That is the way to learn the most, that when you are doing something with such enjoyment that you don’t notice that the time passes.

Combinatory play seems to be the essential feature in productive thought.

How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it.

A woman who cannot be ugly is not beautiful.

It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.

Propaganda is amazing. People can be led to believe anything.

We have to wake up. We have to refuse to be a clone.

This whole phenomenon of the computer in a library is an amazing thing.

If people want capital gains taxed more like the highest rate on income, that's a good discussion. Maybe that's the way to help close the deficit.
