Joseph Conrad

To have his path made clear for him is the aspiration of every human being in our beclouded and tempestuous existence.

In order to move others deeply we must deliberately allow ourselves to be carried away beyond the bounds of our normal sensibility.

How does one kill fear, I wonder? How do you shoot a specter through the heart, slash off its spectral head, take it by its spectral throat?

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.

Fear follows crime and is its punishment.
