Favorite Quotes

These are some of Mark's favorite music quotes...

Johann Sebastian Bach

"The aim and the final reason of all music should be nothing else but the glory of God and the refreshment of the human spirit."

Albert Einstein

"If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music."

Jerry Goldsmith

"If our music survives, which I have no doubt it will, then it will because it is good."

George Harrison

"Everybody dreams of being famous--rich and famous. Once you get rich and famous you think, 'this wasn't it.' And that made me go on to find what it is. In the end, you're trying to find God. That's the result of not being satisfied. And it doesn't matter how much money or property or whatever you've got, unless you are happy in your heart, then that's it. And unfortunately, you can never gain perfect happiness unless you've got that state of consciousness that enables that."

Pat Metheny

"Learning to play is mostly about learning to hear, and learning to really listen deeply to sound in a musical way is a lifetime's worth of work."
