“I write music to celebrate life. I think most artists do, no matter how they themselves describe it. It's the joy of creating. It's a way of life.”

—  Chick Corea

&quot;Answer #3&quot; at his official website. http://www.chickcorea.com/from_chick.html <br class="br">Context: I believe that any &quot;awareness&quot; of life is &quot;spiritual&quot; since awareness can only be a quality of the spirit not of the material world or of matter and machines. Only a spiritual being has awareness. But if you mean &quot;spiritual&quot; in the sense of a kind of &quot;celebration of Life&quot;, then yes, I write music to celebrate life. I think most artists do, no matter how they themselves describe it. It&#x27;s the joy of creating. It&#x27;s a way of life.

“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. … I cannot tell if I would have done any creative work of importance in music, but I do know that I get most joy in life out of my violin.”

I've Learned Some Things (2008)
Context: Distant lands should draw you, people you don't know
To read every book, know other's lives, you should be burning
You shouldn't exchange for anything the pleasure of a glass of water
No matter how much the joy, your life should be filled with yearning

“To be alive is to feel the joy of being./ In spite of the sorrows and joys of life/ The primary joy is that of being./ That of my existence. / That I exist is the most fundamental experience is joy for me!/ I, who do not deserve to, really exist./ I, who need not, do exist!/ I, who may not, do exist.”

Kuruvilla Pandikattu (1957) Indian philosopher
