"You have begun to find your answers. Although it will seem difficult, the rewards will be great. Exercise your human mind as fully as possible, knowing it is only an exercise. Build beautiful artifacts, solve problems, explore the secrets of the physical universe, savor the input from all the senses, feel the joy and sorrow, the laughter, the empathy, compassion and tote the emotional memory in your travel bag. I remember where I came from and how I became a human, why I hung around, and now my final departure is scheduled. This way out. Escaping velocity. Not just eternity, but infinity."
-Transcript out of the movie "Waking Life"
"Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens." - Jimi Hendrix
"People believe that by playing faster and creating new playing techniques you can progress forward, but then they realize that emotionally they don't progress at all. They transmit nothing to the people listening and they stay at where Hendrix was three decades ago. Something like that happened to Vai in the 80s." -John Frusciante
"When the intellectual part of guitar playing overrides the spiritual, you don't get to extreme heights." - John Frusciante
"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." - Martin Luther King Jr.
"A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence" - Leopold Stokowski
"Music can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable" - Leoanard Bernstein
"After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music." -Aldous Huxley
