I just couldn't take school seriously: I had this guitar neck with four frets which I kept hidden under the desk. It had strings on it so I would practice my chord shapes under the desk and that's about all I did at school.

Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done.

I discover myself on the verge of a usual mistake.

Courage is the thing. All goes if courage goes.

Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.

You shape your own destiny.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me, it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly.

Cultivate your curves - they may be dangerous but they won't be avoided.

Life is 10 percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.

I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.

There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.

Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.

To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.

I do not want to die rusting, I prefer to burn out.

We travel. Some of us forever. To seek other states, other lives, other souls.
