The dog that trots about finds a bone.
I can, therefore I am.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Who seeks shall find.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Never complain and never explain.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Certain kinds of speed, flow, intensity, density of attacks, density of interaction... Music that concentrates on those qualities is, I think, easier achieved by free improvisation between people sharing a common attitude, a common language.
