“A writer writes not because he is educated but because he is driven by the need to communicate. Behind the need to communicate is the need to share. Behind the need to share is the need to be understood.”
“Jazz is so incestuous that it's starting to kill itself.”
“If you want to make a chili, you're going to break some cows.”
“Hatred, rancor, and the spirit of vengeance are useless baggage to the artist. His road is difficult enough for him to cleanse his soul of everything which could make it more so.”
“Don't have sex man. It leads to kissing and pretty soon you have to start talking to them.”
“The invention of the printing press was one of the most important events in human history.”
“Listen to what you know instead of what you fear.”
“The trials of life will not wait for us. They come at their own time, not caring much to inquire how ready we may be to meet them.”
