I hope you find value in these encouraging quotes about Bach.

Where is your home?
Where are you going?
What are you doing?

Losing, in a curious way, is winning.

Know that there is no single way that life is "supposed" to be.

is a sure fire recipe for a miserable existence.

Well, I don't know what will happen now.
We've got some difficult days ahead.
But it doesn't matter with me now.
Because I've been to the mountaintop.
And I don't mind. Like any man,
I would like to live a long life.
Longevity has its place.
But I'm not concerned about that now.
I just want to do God's will.
And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain.
And I've looked over.
And I've seen the promised land.
I may not get there with you.
But I want you to know tonight, that we,
as a people, will get to the promised land.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
