“What I love most about playing in front of people has something to do with a certain kind of energy exchange. The attention and appreciation of my audience feeds back into my playing. It really seems as if there is a true and equal give and take between performer and listener, making me aware of how much I depend on my audience. And since the audience is different every night, the music being played will differ too. Every space I performed in has its own magic and spirit.” PeopleIfsGivingKindDifferentSeemsSpiritNightCertainEnergySpaceAttentionAudienceMagicFrontsDependsEqualMusic IsAppreciationPerformersEvery NightListenersGive And TakeBeing Played Author:Nils Frahm
“I think that it is a fallacy to suppose that helpful cooperation in the future will be assured by the attempted compulsion of an inflexible rule. Rather will such cooperation depend upon the fostering of firm friendships springing from an appreciation of community ideals, interests, and purposes, and such friendships are more likely to be promoted by freedom of conference than by the effort to create hard and fast engagements.” ThinkingHardPurposeInterestCommunityEffortDependsIdealsAppreciationFirmHelpfulCooperationEngagementAssuredConferencesCompulsionFallacyFostering Author:Charles Evans Hughes

One scientist may get great satisfaction from another's work and admire it deeply; it may give him great intellectual pleasure; but it gives him no sense of participation in the discovery, it does not carry him away, and his appreciation of it does not depend on his being carried away. If it were otherwise the inspirational origin of scientific discovery would never have been in doubt.” IfsGivingMayDoeHas BeensPleasureDoubtEventsDependsDespairFindingsIntellectualDiscoveryScientistSatisfactionDelightAppreciationAdmireParticipationAccompanyIllusoryCarried AwayScientific Discovery Book:The Strange Case of the Spotted Mice and Other Classic Essays on Science Source: The Strange Case of the Spotted Mice and Other Classic Essays on Science
“Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them. It depends on the mood of the man, whether he shall see the sunset or the fine poem. There are always sunsets, and there is always genius; but only a few hours so serene that we can relish nature or criticism. The more or less depends on structure or temperament. Temperament is the iron wire on which the beads are strung.
