QUOTES

When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.

Be respected as being new, and probably a decent change or a help for the human race or whatever, instead of keep carrying the same old burdens around with you.

I don't have nothing to regret at all in the past, except that I might've unintentionally hurt somebody else or something.

I try to use my music to move these people to act.

In order to change the world, you have to get your head together first.

In World War II all these countries were completely against each other, complete opposite. Now we're getting them all together, through the idea of music.

Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.
