“The whole gamut of good and evil is in every human being, certain notes, from stronger original quality or most frequent use, appearing to form the whole character; but they are only the tones most often heard. The whole scale is in every soul, and the notes most seldom heard will on rare occasions make themselves audible.” HumansSoulWholeCharacterUseFormCertainEvilHuman BeingsQualityHeardStrongerOriginalsNotesScalesOccasionsToneGood And EvilAppearingRare Occasion Author:Fanny Kemble
“In order for a musician to grow, he's got to pay his dues. Some musicians ask me, 'well, what do you mean? You're saying I have to 'starve' and pay all these dues just to play jazz?' And my answer to them is, well, to some degree, yes! Because in order to play jazz you have to live it. Those notes mean something. They don't just come from your brain, they come from your heart and soul too. And in order to have that heart and soul you have to experience life. So I relate my music to my life and my life style. You can't separate the two.” WellsHeartMeanTwoSoulPlayOrderAsksGrowsAnswersPayBrainStyleDegreesMusicianJazzNotesDuesRelateAsk MeHeart And SoulLife Style Author:Woody Shaw
“And pomp, and feast, and revelry, With mask, and antique pageantry, Such sights as youthful poets dream On summer eves by haunted stream. Then to the well-trod stage anon, If Jonson's learned sock be on, Or sweetest Shakespeare, Fancy's child, Warble his native wood-notes wild, And ever, against eating cares, Lap me in soft Lydian airs, Married to immortal verse Such as the meeting soul may pierce, In notes with many a winding bout Of linked sweetness long drawn out.” IfsWellsMayChildrenLongSoulDreamCareAirStagePoetEatingSummerMarriedSightMeetingsNotesWoodsStreamsFancyNativeMaskImmortalVersesSweetnessLinkedLapSweetestSockPierceAntiquesAnonPageantryRevelry Author:John Milton
“There is a note that comes into the human voice by which you may know real weariness. It comes when one has been trying with all his heart and soul to think his way along some difficult road of thought. Of a sudden he finds himself unable to go on. Something within him stops. A tiny explosion takes place. He bursts into words and talks, perhaps foolishly. Little side currents of his nature he didn't know were there run out and get themselves expressed. It is at such times that a man boasts, uses big words, makes a fool of himself in general.” ThinkingKnowsMenWayTryingHumansHeartMayLittlesHas BeensRealSoulUseBigsRunningDifficultSidesVoiceFoolGoes OnNotesCurrentsTinyBoastExplosionsHeart And SoulWearinessHuman Voice Book:Triumph of the Egg and Other Stories Source: Triumph of the Egg and Other Stories
