But I would never insult the people that love this music and I would never insult the blessing of music in my life and I would never insult myself by playing uninspired music.
I wish popularity, but it is that popularity which follows; not that which is run after. It is that popularity which, sooner or later, never fails to do justice to the pursuit of noble ends, by noble means.

I think a lot of Americans have never been all that hungry. They've never had war on their shore, and they've never suffered the way other cultures have suffered. I'm not saying we should go suffer. Not at all. I'm saying we should be more aware of how other cultures exist.

Insult is powerful. Insult begets both rage and humor and often at the same time.
I always asked for forgiveness for my sins right away but I never accepted it until I felt right that I had suffered enough to pay for it. God revealed to me what I was doing how much unnecessary pain I was causing myself.

I must add my work of feeling guilty before I can be forgiven.
To insult someone we call him 'bestial. For deliberate cruelty and nature, 'human' might be the greater insult.
True popularity is not the popularity which is followed after, but the popularity which follows after.
