You're in direct contact with the music by having the strings under your fingers. It's not mechanical like a piano.
Seek by reading and you will find by meditating. Knock by praying, and it will be opened to you in contemplation.
At the end of our life, we shall all be judged by charity.
Never listen to accounts of the frailty of others; and if anyone should complain to you of another, humbly ask him not to speak about him at all.
Strive always to confess your sins with a deep knowledge of your own wretchedness and with clarity and purity.
Do not let your "eye" be drawn by the false "beacon lamps" -of wealth, or position, or fame, or possessions. Be vigilant over your will and desires, for these are the corrupt forces that dwell within, and keep you from living free.
Faith is the union of God and the soul.
I do not expect to see home again.
You don't forget crises and neither does the Queen.
Your desire to please. . . actors are people pleasers and if somebody says your vocal choice in this was ridiculous or whatever you will come back and do it differently. So, to avoid getting into a situation where you're altering your performance way down the line you have to just not do it at all. It's hard and I have done it in the past to disastrous consequences!
Please leave me something. . . even one memory would be enough.
