I am in a quote phase right now for some odd reason that is unidentified. Here. you can post some of your favorites- be they moving, intelligent, insightful. . .
Here are some of the ones I've been focusing on recently:

I think this first one if quite humorous.

-Unknown
"Music is my couch, and all my pain is stuffed inside the cracks."
"Without music, I could never dance. And without dancing, I could never smile. Without a smile, I am nothing."

"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree, it will spend the rest of it's life believing it's stupid."

This one really speaks to our current work today, I believe. Also, last, but not least, another quote by yours truly.
"Music is my force."
Of course this is the best quote ever!
