Everything existing in the universe is the fruit of chance and necessity.

Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion.

Good means not merely not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.

Our sins are more easily remembered than our good deeds.

I truly am living out what true joy and happiness means.

Caregiving has no second agendas or hidden motives. The care is given from love for the joy of giving without expectation, no strings attached.

I do not mind having written the song at all. I just wish that I had written it in a different key, as the high d is hard to play. I am glad that I wrote something that brought joy to millions of people.

The applause was so loud and insistent that I had to respond with several encores. I was numb with happiness, when it was over, I knew that this alone must be my life and my world.
