Jascha Heifetz

And I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinking.

The whole secret of life is to be interested in one thing profoundly and in a thousand things well.

I haven’t put a pencil to a piece of paper, working out a problem, in years; I do it in my head.

I just want people to take a step back, take a deep breath and actually look at something with a different perspective. But most people will never do that.

In a mad world, only the mad are sane.

I’ve sworn never to read any reviews ever again except those that are pointed out to me as nice ones. I would say that most of us who are considered in the artist realm just take it so terribly, and, you know, it can kill ya!

To resent efficiency is a mark of inefficiency.

The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.

Truly great madness cannot be achieved without significant intelligence.

A man never reaches that dizzy height of wisdom that he can no longer be lead by the nose.

If you wish to clear away the clouds of thought, simply keep your mind in the present.

The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.

Some people prefer the passenger role, because it imposes no real pressure to decide or stand accountable for their life results.

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something.
