“I don't think the Bonzo Dog could have evolved in America, nor could the old Nice: because of their musical discipline. This is one thing that British groups do have, a sort of discipline. Sometimes it can get a bit soulless, but on the whole I think it's preferable to the American alternative.” ThinkingSometimesWholeAmericaBitsNiceOne ThingGroupsDogDisciplineMusicalBritishAlternativesSoulless Author:Jon Lord
“As photographers, we must learn to relax our beliefs. Move on objects with your eye straight on, to the left, around on the right. Watch them grow large as they approach, group and regroup as you shift your position. Relationships gradually emerge and sometimes assert themselves with finality. And that's your picture.” SometimesEyeMovingBeliefLeftGrowsWatchesGroupsPositionObjectsApproachPhotographerRelaxFinality Author:Aaron Siskind
“Some tribes [of monkeys] have taken to washing potatoes in the river before eating them, others have not. Sometimes migrating groups of potato-washers meet non-washers, and the two groups watch each other's strange behavior with apparent bewilderment. But unlike the inhabitants of Lilliput, who fought holy crusades over the question at which end to break the egg, the potato-washing monkeys do not go to war with the non-washers, because the poor creatures have no language which would enable them to declare washing a diving commandment and eating unwashed potatoes a deadly heresy.” TwoWarEndsSometimesLanguagePoorWatchesBreakTakenGroupsSocietyStrangeHolyCreaturesBehaviorEatingRiversEggsCommandmentsTribesMonkeysPotatoesHeresyWashingCrusadesDivingBewilderment Author:Arthur Koestler
“Many great writers address audiences who do not exist; to address passionately and sometimes with very great wisdom people who do not exist has this advantage - that there will always be a group of people who, seeing a man shouting apparently at somebody or other, and seeing nobody else in sight, will think it is they who are being addressed.” PeopleThinkingMenSometimesAudienceSeeingGroupsAdvantageSightAddressesShoutingGreat WritersGreat Wisdom Author:Wyndham Lewis
“Sometimes you're a psychiatrist and sometimes you're a group therapist. The dynamics in between people and the misgivings sometimes that artists have when they get into the studio because they're under a different level of scrutiny. A lot of them can be insecure about it. My job is not simply to make musical determinations but sometimes to just keep people from flipping out during the process.” PeopleDifferentSometimesJobsArtistProcessLevelsGroupsDeterminationMusicalStudiosInsecurePsychiatristTherapistsScrutinyDynamicsDifferent LevelsMisgivingsFlipping Out Author:Todd Rundgren

“Small groups have always been the locus of change. What they do, in a sometimes offhand way, is constellate new cultural forms and give birth to the unexpected. Sometimes the talk is the thing, sometimes the feeling. When we risk talking about something we really care about it's infectious. Like any good infection, such talk can produce heat, a fever of intellectual excitement.” WayGivingSometimesFeelingsCareFormTalkingRiskGroupsProduceBirthIntellectualExcitementHeatUnexpectedFeverInfectionSmall Groups Author:Stephanie Mills
