“[Jimi Hendrix] dreamed of amassing musicians from all over the world in Woodstock and they would sit in a field in a circle and play and play. It didn’t matter what key or tempo or what melody, they would keep on playing through their discordance until they found a common language. Eventually they would record this abstract universal language of music in his new studio.
“The language of peace. You dig?” I did.”
― Patti Smith, Just Kids

“There remained only rare periods of

― Leo Tolstoy, The Death of Ivan Ilych

“Lucas wasn’t paying for a movie; he was buying his own creative freedom.”
