“I see myself as a student. I would never call myself a master or a maestro. If you take the path of the student, that means you have to try a little bit of everything in hopes that you're going to learn something or strike some kind of new note, expression in the process. I'm not going for grades; I'm going for an education. I'm going to continue experimenting and trying new things to try to evolve and learn.” IfsTryingKindMeanLittlesBitsProcessSoundPathStudentsExpressionMastersLittle BitNotesStrikesEvolveGradesNew ThingsTrying New ThingsMaestro Author:Nicolas Cage
“Let every birthday be a festival, a time when the gladness of the house finds expression in flowers, in gifts, in a little fête.

“Improvisation was the blood and bone of jazz, and in the classic, New Orleans jazz it was collective improvisation in which each performer, seemingly going his own melodic way, played in harmony, dissonance, or counterpoint with the improvisations of his colleagues. Quite unlike ragtime, which was written down in many cases by its composers and could be repeated note for note (if not expression for expression) by others, jazz was a performer's not a composer's art.” IfsWayArtCasesWrittenBloodExpressionHarmonyJazzNotesBonesClassicCollectivesPerformersComposerColleaguesNew OrleansImprovisationDissonanceRagtime Author:Russell Lynes
“I think the underlying purpose is expression. It's not about technique, it's not about hitting the right note, writing the perfect prose, having the perfect brushstroke. It's about expression of oneself, the things around you, and the emotions. I think expression is the one word that I would use, whether it's for sorrow, tragedy, joy, or even the need to express and be heard.” ThinkingNeedsWritingUseJoyPurposePerfectEmotionHeardExpressionSorrowTragedyNotesOneselfTechniqueProseHittingOne Word Author:Charlie Albright

“"Study Bible" is the expression used for Bibles that include significant explanatory notes, usually at the bottom of the page, sometimes in the margins.
