"Never stop acquiring the commonsense, it is as good as the knowledge."
"Collecting facts is important. Knowledge is important. But if you don't have an imagination to use the knowledge, civilization is nowhere."
"Ignorance leads to sin."
"She'd bought a blue notebook in the pharmacy to write down her aunt's remedies. Star tulip to understand dreams, bee balm for a restful sleep, black mustard seed to repel nightmares, remedies that used essential oils of almond or apricot or myrrh from thorn trees in the desert. Two eggs, which must never be eaten, set under a bed to clean a tainted atmosphere. Vinegar as a cleansing bath. Garlic, salt, and rosemary, the ancient spell to cast away evil."
"Without books, everything would have been crooked. Without books, the wisdom in books today would have been fairy and folk tales. Without books the whole truth about life would have been imaginations and a guessing game."

Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy."

"I'm not that interested in what people make of it, or how people consider me. That's nothing to do with me."
"Because, when I'm making music, I don't think about anything, you know? All I think about is what I want to hear. So that for me is what I want - I want my head to be constantly being rearranged."
"I'd say that it's important for music to be there that gives you a challenge, that rearranges things in your head."
"Sometimes I think that I want to do something strictly basic, really simple. Just with a few chords. But I won't have anything more than two or three sentences in my head. That kind of evaporates once I start playing and then it goes off in whatever direction."
"I like my stuff 'cause I only ever end up with tracks that I really, really like. It always appeals to me."
"It's important for that to exist in a society that doesn't present you with any genuine problems."
