A great poet is the most precious jewel of a nation.

Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time

We all know that art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth.

Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance.

Nature scarcely ever gives us the very best; for that we must have recourse to art.

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.

And, in the end The love you take is equal to the love you make.

I have a genuine love affair with my audience. When I`m on stage they`re not privileged to see me. It`s a privilege for me to see them.

I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.

I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.

Music should be something that makes you gotta move, inside or outside

Every work of art is an uncommitted crime.

Play it fuckin' loud!

Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.

The earth has music for those who listen.

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

Rock and roll music, if you like it, if you feel it, you can't help but move to it. That's what happens to me. I can't help it.

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.

Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.

To play without passion is inexcusable!
