I have so many! Here are a few...

Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life.

"I don't drink these days. I am allergic to alcohol and narcotics. I break out in handcuffs." - Robert Downey Jr.

Love is like playing the piano, first you must learn to play by the rules, then you must forget the rules and play from your heart.

You treat the air as a canvas and the paint is the chords that come through your fingers, out of the keyboard.

Life is NOT short... It's the longest thing you do!

I used to have loads of these but now I don't remember any...

But I have a couple of documents taped on the wall over this computer, which I haven't read in a while either. These passages strike home at the moment:

17. There are no great men.
18. If you have a hero, look again: you have diminished yourself in some way.

My motto since I started playing piano:

"If you can play it in octaves, play it in octaves" A very Lisztian way of thinking

"f*ck b*tches."

Minus the asterisks, period intentional.

I have it tattooed. On my foot.

You'd be surprised how often it keeps me from going insane with stress/getting wrapped up in others' useless drama.

With one caveat.

"Oh well."

I make a lot of mistakes in general. This is my way of seamlessly shaking them off.

If you have to ask the question, "Is it wrong to....", it probably is.
