“Every improv must be song specific. It has to grow organically out of the particular elements involved or it's just glib self-expression.

“To cut out every negative root would simultaneously mean choking off positive elements that might arise from it further up the stem of the plant.

“I think that that's the way the music grows and changes and becomes new and creative and vital.

“Fate forces its way to the powerful and violent. With subservient obedience it will assume for years dependency on one individual:Caesar, Alexander, Napoleon, because it loves the elemental human being who grows to resemble it, the intangible element.

“Manners or etiquette ('accessibility, affability, politeness, refinement, propriety, courtesy, and ingratiating and captivating behavior') call for no large measure of moral determination and cannot, therefore, be reckoned as virtues. Even though manners are no virtues, they are a means of developing virtue.... The more we refine the crude elements in our nature, the more we improve our humanity and the more capable it grows of feeling the driving force of virtuous principles.” MeanFeelingsHumanityLanguageForceGrowsMoralPrinciplesVirtueSocietyCommunicationBehaviorElementsCapableDeterminationDrivingMannersDevelopingVirtuousCourtesyEtiquettePolitenessCrudeRefinementProprietyDriving ForceAccessibilityCaptivating Author:Immanuel Kant

“Education cannot be neutral. It is either positive or negative; either it enriches or it impoverishes; either it enables a person to grow or it lessens, even corrupts him. The mission of schools is to develop a sense of truth, of what is good and beautiful. And this occurs through a rich path made up of many ingredients. This is why there are so many subjects - because development is the results of different elements that act together and stimulate intelligence, knowledge, the emotions, the body, and so on.” PersonsMadeDifferentBodySchoolTogetherBeautifulGrowsResultsEmotionPathRichSubjectsDevelopmentElementsNegativeMissionsIngredients Author:Pope Francis

“Some discouragement, some faintness of heart at the new real future which replaces the imaginary, is not unusual, and we do not expect people to be deeply moved by what is not unusual. That element of tragedy which lies in the very fact of frequency has not yet wrought itself into the coarse emotion of mankind, and perhaps our frames could hardly bear much of it. If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence.” PeopleIfsShouldHumansHeartRealFactsFeelingsWould BeLyingDiesGrowsSidesEmotionSilenceVisionMankindBearsElementsBeatsOrdinaryTragedyMovedHearingHuman LifeGrassUnusualImaginaryFrequencyDiscouragementSquirrelsHeart BeatCoarse Author:George Eliot
