God breathes through us so completely... So gently we hardly feel it... yet it is our everything Picture Quote #1

I think I was first awakened to musical exploration by Dizzy Gillespie and Bird. It was through their work that I began to learn about musical structures and the more theoretical aspects of music Picture Quote #1

My goal is to live the truly religious life, and express it in my music. If you live it, when you play there’s no problem because the music is part of the whole thing. To be a musician is really something. It goes very, very deep. My music is the spiritual expression of what I am - my faith, my knowledge, my being Picture Quote #1

I’ve always felt that even though a man was not a Christian, he still has to know the truth some way or another. Or if he was a Christian, he could know the truth. The truth itself doesn’t have any name on it to me. And each man has to find this for himself, I think Picture Quote #1

During the year 1957, I experienced, by the grace of God, a spiritual awakening which was to lead me to a richer, fuller, more productive life. At that time, in gratitude, I humbly asked to be given the means and privilege to make others happy through music. I feel this has been granted through His grace. ALL PRAISE TO GOD Picture Quote #1

I start in the middle of a sentence and move both directions at once Picture Quote #1

I’d like to point out to people the divine in a musical language that transcends words. I want to speak to their souls Picture Quote #1

When you begin to see the possibilities of music, you desire to do something good for people, to help humanity free itself from its hang-ups Picture Quote #1

I would like to bring to people something like happiness. I would like to discover a method so that if I want it to rain, it will start right away to rain. If one of my friends is ill, I’d like to play a certain song and he will be cured; when he’d be broke, I’d bring out a different song and immediately he’d receive all the money he needed Picture Quote #1

All a musician can do is to get closer to the sources of nature, and so feel that he is in communion with the natural laws Picture Quote #1

I never even thought about whether or not they understand what I’m doing... the emotional reaction is all that matters as long as there’s some feeling of communication, it isn’t necessary that it be understood Picture Quote #1

There is never any end... There are always new sounds to imagine; new feelings to get at. And always, there is the need to keep purifying these feelings and sounds so that we can really see what we’ve discovered in its pure state Picture Quote #1

There are so many things to be considered in making music. The whole question of life itself... I know that I want to produce beautiful music, music that does things to people that they need Picture Quote #1

When you begin to see the possibilities of music, you desire to do something really good for people Picture Quote #1
