About Me

"Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent..."
- Victor Hugo

"Creative people are creative in spite of depression, not because of it."
- Michael Savage

"Bad art is more tragically beautiful than good art, because it documents human failure."
- Tristan Reveur

"The irony of commitment is that it's deeply liberating - in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life."
- Anne Morriss

"Music can lift us out of depression or move us to tears - it is a remedy, a tonic, orange juice for the ear..."
- Oliver Sacks MyGen Profile Generator
