Yanni
Everything great that has ever happened to humanity has begun as a single thought in someone's mind, and if anyone of us is capable of such a thought, then all of us has the same capacity, capability, because we're all the same.
Yanni
I have been fortunate to have a career that has allowed me to travel the world and come in contact with many different cultures and people.
Yanni
As I understand life at different levels, I can use music to express what these levels feel like to me. Hopefully the listener can be transported to this understanding by listening to the music.
Yanni
I believe that having an open mind is one of the most important qualities we can possess. Once our minds close, we stop evolving.
Yanni
