I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.
The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell
I love power. But it is as an artist that I love it. I love it as a musician loves his violin, to draw out its sounds and chords and harmonies.
No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right.
Sorrowful and great is the artist's destiny.
