Whenever nature leaves a hole in a person's mind she generally plasters it over with a thick coat of self-conceit.

All is disgust when a man leaves his own nature and does what is unfit.

Reason is a supple nymph and slippery as a fish by nature. She had as leave give her kiss to an absurdity any day as to syllogistic truth. The absurdity may turn out truer.

There is nothing in which the birds differ more from man than the way in which they can build and yet leave a landscape as it was before.

Love thou the rose yet leave it on its stem.

Forests lakes and rivers clouds and winds stars and flowers stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes - every form of animate or inanimate existence leaves its impress upon the soul of man.

I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things... I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind.

I love to listen to pop music and I admire people who do that but I don't think I would ever be a very good pop star. I always leave that singing voice for the shower! I wouldn't put it out in the world!

Also because people like to multitask in a way if you've got a bit of music on in the background and the lyrical content is making you want to listen to it then that would probably put you off the texting you wanted to do. I think people like things that just make that right kind of noise but leave your brain free to do something else.

Music's been around a long time and there's going to be music long after Ray Charles is dead. I just want to make my mark leave something musically good behind. If it's a big record that's the frosting on the cake but music's the main meal.
