“Nothing inspires music lovers like direct contact with a true master,”

“The inspiration for the whole body of work is routed in my philosophy of the after life.”

“Greatness inspires envy, envy engenders spite, spite spawns lies.”

“You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.”

“The packages are trying to engage the consumer in such a way that they're inspired to buy the product.”

“He's a pretty inspirational kid -- he's kind of becoming my hero.”
