Asks Quote by Jeremy Denk

“Sometimes you wish you could go back and ask your teachers again to guide you; but up there onstage, exactly where they always wanted you to be, you must simply find your way. They have given all the help they can; the only person who can solve the labyrinth of yourself is you.” quote by Jeremy Denk — Download Open image
