I plead for conservation of human culture, which is much more fragile than nature herself. We needn't destroy other cultures with the force of our own. ↗

God's designs may be frequent justification for our actions, but it is we, the self-made men, who take the credit. ↗

I can sit and analyze everything and beat myself up and say you don't quite sing as good as you used to, you're writing better songs maybe than you used to, but to me it's just the journey. ↗

You don't really see yourself doing things, of course, but you feel. ↗
