Life is so short. I would rather sing one song than interpret the thousand.

I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.

I would rather be remembered by a song than by a victory.

I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance.

I was not looking for my dreams to interpret my life, but rather for my life to interpret my dreams.
