" ايها الحطاب ، اقطع ظلي ، خلصني من العذاب ، من رؤية نفسي دون ثمر "

- لوركا

“I love you, I love you, my heart is a rose which your love has brought to bloom, my life is a desert fanned by the delicious breeze of your breath, and whose cool springs are your eyes; the imprint of your little feet makes valleys of shade for me, the odour of your hair is like myrrh, and wherever you go you exhale the perfumes of the cassia tree.”

— Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), in a letter to Lord Alfred Douglas (1870-1945), dated [20 May 1895] [?2 Courtfield Gardens, Kensington], in “Oscar Wilde: A Life In Letters”

Music kept me off the streets and out of trouble and gave me something that was mine that no one could take away from me. Music education and families are dealing with the economic times, and I wanted to help them. If I can help a kid discover a liking, or even a passion for music in their life, then that's a wonderful thing.

“Everyone thinks I’m showing off when I talk, ridiculous when I’m silent, insolent when I answer, cunning when I have a good idea, lazy when I’m tired, selfish when I eat one bite more than I should…”
