quotes:

~Dr.Shinichi Suzuki~

Art is not in some far-off place. A work of Art is the expression of a man's whole personality, sensibility and ability

Art Exist for the human species. I think that all of the people who love art, those who teach art, and all of you should burn with the obligation to save the world

Music exists for the purpose of growing an admirable heart

I am mentally preparing myself for the five-year-old mind. I want to come down to their physical limitations and come up to their sense of wonder and  awe.

Knowledge is not skill. Knowledge plus ten thousand times is skill.

Talent is no accident of birth. In today's society a good many people seem to have the idea that if one is born without talent, there is nothing he can do about it; they simply resign themselves to what they consider to be their fate. Consequently they go through life without living it to the full or ever knowing life's true joy. That is man's greatest tragedy.

Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to make good citizens. If children hear fine music from the day of their birth and learn to play it, they develop sensitivity, discipline and endurance. They get a beautiful heart.

~Beethoven~

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. 

The barriers are not erected which can say to aspiring talents and industry, "Thus far and no farther." 

Tones sound, and roar and storm about me until I have set them down in notes. 

What you are, you are by accident of birth; what I am, I am by myself. There are and will be a thousand princes; there is only one Beethoven.  

To play without passion is inexcusable!

It seemed unthinkable for me to leave the world forever before I had produced all that I felt called upon to produce" 

I love a tree more than a man

Then let us all do what is right, strive with all our might toward the unattainable, develop as fully as we can the gifts God has given us, and never stop learning

My misfortune is doubly painful to me because it will result in my being misunderstood. For me there can be no recreation in the company of others, no intelligent conversation, no exchange of information with peers; only the most pressing needs can make me venture into society. I am obliged to live like an outcast.

I shall seize fate by the throat.

A great poet is the most precious jewel of a nation.

~Yoda~

Do or do not... there is no try.

Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

Always in motion is the future.

Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not. Attachment leads to jealously. The shadow of greed, that is.

Named must your fear be before banish it you can.

Great warrior? Wars not make one great.
