That pleasure which is at once the most intense, the most
elevating, and the most pure is, I believe, found in the
contemplation of the beautiful. When, indeed, men speak
of Beauty, they mean, precisely, not a quality, as is
supposed, but an effect—they refer, in short, just to that
intense and pure elevation of soul—not of intellect, or of
heart (…)”
– Edgar Allen Poe – The Philosophy of Composition
Your whole body… is nothing more than a thought itself, in
a form you can see. Break the chains of your thought, and
you break the chains of your body, too…
Freedom is the very nature of his being, that whatever
stands against that freedom must be set aside, be it ritual
or superstition or limitation in any form.
– Richard Bach- Jonathan Livingston Seagull
At all times remember to imagine a beautiful sound. Keep
your energy up but never tense. Move that energized air
through your sound.
Your mind cannot be aware of what your fingers are doing.
The mind is in the sound and allows what is going to
happen to you, without conscious thought.
– Bill Adam
