It's always too early to quit.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
You never know what motivates you.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
I can, therefore I am.
I spent many years trying to write a lot like Ben Folds or John Lennon or Rivers Cuomo. I think that's healthy when you're learning to write and seeing how chords fit together and how songs take shape.
