“One of the best things Iâ€™ve read about that inexplicably, but endlessly, fascinating group of people, the so-called Serious Collectors of 78s.

“You have to be a man before you can be a gentleman.”
“I don't believe in objectivity. I observe the observer's paradox every moment I'm filming. Your presence is changing everything; there's no mistaking it. And you have a responsibility.”

To neglect the c-properties in classifying stellar spectra, I think, is nearly the same thing as if a zoologist, who has detected the deciding differences between a whale and a fish, would continue classifying them together.”
“Stop thinking about the audience and what they may be thinking of your music. Just play the music.”
