--> I stumbled upon this autobiographical statement by John Cage and felt I should post it here.

Here are some quotes I really liked.

"My favorite music is the music I haven't yet heard. I don't hear the music I write. I write in order to hear the music I haven't yet heard."

"Ramakrishna it was who said all religions are the same, like a lake to which people who are thirsty come from different directions, calling its water by different names."

Zen Buddhist saying "Everyday is a good day."

Give it a read...I dare ya...

pawel's autobiography:
"i was born in 1981.
ever since then i mostly spent my time in front of the computer, pretending to be better, stronger, funnier than everyone else.
i hope noone will ever find out that i have NO LIFE"
