Men of perverse opinion do not know the excellence of what is in their hands, till some one dash it from them.

I want to live only for ecstasy. Small doses, moderate loves, all half-shades leave me cold. I like extravagance.

There is only one step from the sublime to the ridiculous.

People seldom notice old clothes if you wear a big smile.

The unfed mind devours itself.

Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.

My music fights against the system that teaches to live and die.
