It is not given to man to know the whole truth. his duty lies in living up to the truth as he sees it, and in doing so, to resort to the purest means, i.e., to non-violence. god alone knows absolute truth. therefore, i have often said, truth is god. it follows that man, a finite being, cannot know absolute truth. nobody in this world possesses absolute truth. this is god's attribute alone. relative truth is all we know. therefore, we can only follow the truth as we see it. such pursuit of truth cannot lead anyone astray.

For more and more of us, home has really less to do with a piece of soil than, you could say, with a piece of soul. if somebody suddenly asks me, "where's your home?" i think about my sweetheart or my closest friends or the songs that travel with me wherever i happen to be.

When i sit down to write a song, it's a kind of improvisation, but i formalize it a bit to get it into the studio, and when i step up to a microphone, i have a vague idea of what i'm about to do.
