Make two people proud: Your 8-year-old self and your 80-year-old self

- David Perell

Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.

Frank Gehry

David Gilmore is the benchmark of less being more. He has proved that shredding and fast playing is not the benchmark of mastery level. Gilmore never wastes a note; he builds his solos like a painter; every note, every bend, every tonal inflection has merit.David's solos paint a picture in the minds of his listeners. Something that really is a testament of his talent as a guitar player

Eddie Van Halen

One can fight evil but against stupidity one is helpless. … I have accepted the fact, hard as it may be, that human beings are inclined to behave in ways that would make animals blush.

The ironic, the tragic thing is that we often behave in ignoble fashion from what we consider the highest motives. The animal makes no excuse for killing his prey; the human animal, on the other hand, can invoke God’s blessing when massacring his fellow men. He forgets that God is not on his side but at his side

Henry Miller
