“Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art.”
Charlie Parker
“Without Freedom of thought, there can be no such Thing as Wisdom; and no such thing as public Liberty, without Freedom of speech”
Benjamin Franklin
“Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought.”
E. Y. Harburg
“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“By three methods we may learn wisdom: first, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third, by experience, which is the most bitter.”
Confucius
“The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.”
W. M. Lewis
“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
Steve Jobs
