“Don't die with the music still in you.”

“And sure, I know if you eat this way you'll die. So? If you don't eat this way you're still going to die. Why not die happy?”

“Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. They never dare to try.”

“Music is forever; music should grow and mature with you, following you right on up until you die.”

“Don't die. Don't die! You don't have to win. You don't have to keep trying! Just don't get hurt anymore, please!”

“When you die, you die. You don't think which is a better way to die.”

“I don't care when I die, when you die, you die. What I don't want is to die in my bed. To be killed in an accident or to be shot is my preferred way to die.”

“Words move, music moves
Only in time; but that which is only living
Can only die. Words, after speech, reach
Into the silence. Only by the form, the pattern,
Can words or music reach
The stillness…”

“You can still die when the sun is shining.”

“I just don't want them to change me, if I'm going to die I still want to be me.”
