"When can you understand that the music you play is very good? It is when people look at you but see no one, no one but the music!"
- Mehmet Murat ildan
"Silence is the best music when you are in need of silence and music is the best silence when you are in need of music!"
"To understand fully the importance of music, you must try to imagine a world without music! Such a world would be a world of hopelessness and boredom!"
"An illusionist can make himself disappear; a musician can do the same thing: When he plays a piano, after a while we start seeing only the music, not the man!"
"A cheerful music is a powerful light for the shadows of sorrow!"
