Well-written words are music.

To me the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about but the inner music that words make.

If you talk bad about country music it's like saying bad things about my momma. Them's fightin' words.

Some people create with words or with music or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make people stop and say 'I've never seen anyone run like that before.' It's more than just a race it's a style. It's doing something better than anyone else. It's being creative.

When words leave off music begins.

Where words fail music speaks.

But when you get music and words together that can be a very powerful thing.

If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music.

The words of kindness are more healing to a drooping heart than balm or honey.

Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and repeat to yourself the most comforting words of all this too shall pass.
