Even When I'm Sick And Depressed, I

Love Life And Life Will Love You Back. Love People And They Will Love You Back.

Even When I'm Sick And Depressed, I Love Life.

We Only Begin To Live Life When We Learn To Accept It On Its Own Terms.

...stories About [the German Composer Johannes] Brahms's Rudeness And Wit Amused Me In Particular. For Instance, I Loved The One About How A Great Wine Connoisseur Invited The Composer To Dinner. 'this Is The Brahms Of My Cellar,' He Said To His Guests, Producing A Dust-covered Bottle And Pouring Some Into The Master's Glass. Brahms Looked First At The Color Of The Wine, Then Sniffed Its Bouquet, Finally Took A Sip, And Put The Glass Down Without Saying A Word. 'don't You Like It?' Asked The Host. 'hmm,' Brahms Muttered. 'better Bring Your Beethoven!'

Music Is Not A Hobby, Not Even A Passion With Me; Music Is Me. I Feel What People Get Out Of Me Is This Outlook On Life, Which Comes Out In My Music. My Music Is The Last Expression Of All That.
