Quote by Paul Fleischman

“The whirligig featured a drummer, a trumpet player, a clarinetist, and a man with a trombone. It was a leap beyond the spouting whale, with more figures, a six-bladed propeller, and a much more complex system of rods and pivots that made the instruments dip and rise as if the musicians were marching.”

“Fuck being bored. You shouldn't ever be bored. You can always read and be smarter. You can always work out and be in better shape. You can always play your instrument and get better at it. Your space can always be cleaner. Blue- collar work is when you work with your hands-white-collar work is behind a desk. I'm not as grimy as my father, who made his living with a wrench, but everything I have comes from working with my hands.”

“In the early noughties, his fiancee Mayte Garcia - the singer and dancer formerly married to Prince - kissed Lee on the neck, and the drummer had her lip print turned into a tattoo as well.”

“What kind of world will we see if our planet is filled with the people of one heart...? The reason why we fight or make a war shall be because we believe we can improve, protect ourselves, or prosper... However, if we realize that our hearts wear out, our love is hurt, our bliss and happiness are gone and in the end we only become lonely... If we can realize that all of them are completely wrong... if we realize that the people who we see as others are also heart-broken and worn out.., we will see a new world where there are no such people robbing others or invading someone’s homeland. If we come to know that happiness and prosperity are not given to the people who win, beat, rob, fight, envy and think ill of others, that the people with compassion and love are naturally gifted with them, then we will receive a great awareness to create a new world... I think that those wishes to improve or become happy are the ones for all humanity, and I cannot but believe that knowing what is necessary for peace and prosperity are very important. When we are happy at heart, true prosperity will come to us... People of the whole world dream the same dreams. They are the real peace of the world and our happiness... It is crucial for us to find how to realize them. MARTH from Ebook; "L'amore - I will love you even after I'm gone" by MARTH”
