"Still and all, why bother? Here's my answer. 
Many people need desperately to receive
this message:  I feel and think much as you do,
care about many of the things you care about,
although most people do not care about them.
You are not alone."
Kurt Vonnegut

"I'm going to keep on finding out
the kind of man I am through my music.
That's the one place I can be free.
But the reason it's difficult is because
I'm changing all the time."

Charles Mingus

"It's impossible for me to feel like there's only
one way to do a thing. There's nothing
wrong with having one way of doing it,
but I think it's a bad habit. 
I believe in range.
Like, there's a lot of tunes that
I play all the time-sometimes
I hear 'em in a different register. 
And if you don't have
complete freedom, or
you won't let yourself
get away from that one
straight line,
oh, my goodness,
that's too
horrible
to even
think
about."

Wes Montgomery
