"If you improvise a riff and the crowd immediately reacts to it, you know you're on to something."

-- Dimebag Darrell

“The heart that breaks open can contain the whole universe... All is registered in the 'boundless heart' of the bodhisattva. Through our deepest and innermost reponses to our world - to hunger and torture and the threat of annihilation - we touch that boundless heart.”
“He that uses many words for explaining any subject, doth, like the cuttlefish, hide himself for the most part in his own ink.”
“Seek to make life henceforth a consecrated thing; that so, when the sunset is nearing, with its murky vapors and lowering skies, the very clouds of sorrow may be fringed with golden light. Thus will the song in the house of your pilgrimage be always the truest harmony. It will be composed of no jarring, discordant notes; but with all its varied tones will form one sustained, life-long melody; dropped for a moment in death, only to be resumed with the angels, and blended with the everlasting cadences of your Father's house.”

“How and when to try new things and to what degree are critical... Too soon and too radical a change and you may not master anything or develop a style.”
“The earth is soaked and soggy with rain. Everything is drinking its fill and the surplus gluts the drains. The sky is full of it and lies low over the earth, heavy and dense. Even the sea is wetter than usual!”
“There's many heroic underappreciated investigative journalists.”
“I get a lot of flak for it... people saying [my body] is not normal for a girl... But I'm okay with it. I think it's because I was a gymnast for eight years, from ages four to 12. My body was made before my bones were fully grown. Gymnasts are short, stocky, muscular powerhouses.”
“I don't think anyone can calculate the effect of having a Jew on the ticket.”
