"Where there is something that needs to be said, indifference to literary form always indicates dogmatization of content." -- Theodor Adorno

"We start out by feeling the music internally, expressing it somehow externally before we choose to put it into the instrument, and then, hopefully, it's an extension of us into the instrument. We are the instrument. The other...the actual instrument is just an amplification of what we're hearing." -- Lee Konitz
