“Gandhi has sound economic and cultural reasons for encouraging the revival of cottage industries, but he does not counsel a fanatical repudiation of all modern progress. Machinery, trains, automobiles, the telegraph have played important parts in his own colossal life!

“There's a very old recording maxim that goes, 'Distance makes depth.' I've used that a hell of a lot-whether it's tracking guitars or the whole band. People are used to close-miking amps, but I'd have a mic out around the back, as well, and then balance the two. Also, you shouldn't have to use EQ in the studio if the instruments sound right. You should be able to get the right tones simply with the science of microphone placement.” PeopleIfsShouldWellsTwoWholeUseAbleUsedSoundHellBalanceBandInstrumentsDistanceDepthGuitarStudiosToneMaximsMicrophonesMicsTrackingPlacement Author:Jimmy Page
“Well, on tour I eat terribly, so I balance that by running a lot. And then I started to run with my fans in certain cities. It sounds very nerdy and un-rock n' roll, but I like it.

“Like musicians who can read and write complicated scores in a world without sounds, for us mathematics is a source of delight, excitement, and even controversy which are hard to share with non mathematicians.

“Television programming for children need not be saccharine or insipid in order to give to violence its proper balance in the scheme of things.... But as an endless diet for the sake of excitement and sensation in stories whose plots are vehicles for killing and torture and little more, it is not healthy for young children.

“Honesty comes only with sound health, physically and psychologically, and an honest mind cannot be separated from the most genuine acknowledgment of expression. It should be recognized that pure perfection is unobtainable. Therefore, the realization that one's irrevocable faults and deficiencies must be faced guides us toward the first step of learning. We must each accept any situation as it actually is, with dignity. In that fine balance of acceptance of self and the mission to better oneself, compassion, humility, and discipline are nurtured.” ShouldMindFirstsSelfSoundCompassionSituationAcceptingStepsHonestHonestyAcceptanceHumilityExpressionFineBalanceDisciplinePureDignityPerfectionFaultsOneselfMissionsGuidesGenuineRealizationSelf AcceptanceFirst StepsDeficiencyAcknowledgmentIrrevocable Author:Midori Goto

“A fiddler on the roof. Sounds crazy, no? But here, in our little village of Anatevka, you might say every one of us is a fiddler on the roof trying to scratch out a pleasant, simple tune without breaking his neck. It isn't easy.

“In contemporary music, the challenge for me is to make the recorder sound as naturally expressive as, for example, the violin - without doing it too much and forcing the instrument.

“The most important human endeavor is the striving for morality in our actions. Our inner balance and even our very existence depend on it. Only morality in our actions can give beauty and dignity to life. To make this a living force and bring it to clear consciousness is perhaps the foremost task of education. The foundation of morality should not be made dependent on myth nor tied to any authority lest doubt about the myth or about the legitimacy of the authority imperil the foundation of sound judgment and action.” GivingShouldHumansMadeImportantActionForceSoundExistenceConsciousnessClearDoubtDependsBalanceMoralityAuthorityJudgmentDignityTasksFoundationStriveMythDependentEndeavorTiedOur ActionsLegitimacySound Judgment Book:Albert Einstein, The Human Side: Glimpses from His Archives Source: Albert Einstein, The Human Side: Glimpses from His Archives
