False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.

President Assad, I worked with. I know him reasonably well, met with him a few times, and he’s a liar.

I’m not claiming divinity. I’ve never claimed purity of soul. I’ve never claimed to have the answers to life. I only put out songs and answer questions as honestly as I can… But I still believe in peace, love and understanding.

Nothing is more obstinate than a fashionable consensus.

The universe is transformation: life is opinion.

Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress.
