The longer quotes are my all time (or ultime? :P) favorites.

"There is something about music that keeps its distance even at the moment that it engulfs us. It is at the same time outside and away from us and inside and part of us. In one sense it dwarfs us, and in another we master it. We are led on and on, and yet in some strange way we never lose control."
-Aaron Copland

"You only live once. Why miss the opportunity?"
-Richie Herskowitz (1990-2007) a friend I was supposed to graduate high school with

"In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life. It goes on."
-Robert Frost

-Bruce Bawer
