You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It`s just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.
Paulo Coelho
We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It`s one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it`s another to think that yours is the only path.
Paulo Coelho
Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks. Perhaps this person will never be disappointed or disillusioned; perhaps she won`t suffer the way people do when they have a dream to follow. But when the person looks back-she will hear her heart
Paulo Coelho
I think that when we look for love courageously, it reveals itself, and we wind up attracting even more love. If one person really wants us, everyone does. But if we`re alone, we become even more alone. Life is strange.
Paulo Coelho
But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it`s better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you`re fighting for.
Paulo Coelho
Our lives are to be used and thus to be lived as fully as possible, and truly it seems that we are never so alive as when we concern ourselves with other people.
Harry Chapin
Music, even in situations of the greatest horror, should never be painful to the ear but should flatter and charm it, and thereby always remain music.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
No friend have I. I must live by myself alone; but I know well that God is nearer to me than others in my art, so I will walk fearlessly with Him.
Ludwig Van Beethoven
Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art.
Frederic Chopin
It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony.
Benjamin Britten
The Church knew what the psalmist knew: Music praises God. Music is well or better able to praise him than the building of the church and all its decoration; it is the Church`s greatest ornament.
Igor Stravinsky
Inspiration may be a form of super-consciousness, or perhaps of subconsciousness - I wouldn`t know. But I am sure it is the antithesis of self-consciousness.
Aaron Copland
If the secret should be known, which is not much of a secret at all, this is my hobby I love doing this. Anything else feels like work to me.
Hans Zimmer
I`ve known Sam [Raimi] for almost 15 years. Spider-Man 2 was my fifth movie with him and all I can say is that the person who was there at the end of Spider-Man 2 was not Sam. I don`t know who it was, but it wasn`t Sam. It was as close to living out Invas...
Danny Elfman
I`d never written for talking fuzzy animals before. I knew how to write to human emotions but these were animals. It took me a while to sort of get over that and do what you do which is just treat them like human characters. (On The Lion King (1994)]
Hans Zimmer
I think this one has more electronics in it than anything else.. I didn`t want to do straight orchestra because Batman, he`s not a straight character. I mean where do you get those wonderful toys from and the technology? So I thought I could embrace a bit...
