Call it my little gesture toward social conscience, but I like to think I am teaching a certain number of people to read. Now that sounds pretentious!- David Eddings
People make music to get a reaction. Music is communication.
What is music anyway? It's a form of communication, and that is why I play the kind of music that I think - that I hope - can communicate with people.
Communication is a continual balancing act, juggling the conflicting needs for intimacy and independence. To survive in the world, we have to act in concert with others, but to survive as ourselves, rather than simply as cogs in a wheel, we have to act alone.
Man may act according to that principle or inclination which for the present happens to be strongest, and yet act in a way disproportionate to, and violate his real proper nature.
