Frank Zappa
“Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.”
Frank Zappa

Charles Frazier
“One thing he discovered with a great deal of astonishment was that music held for him more then just pleasure. There was meat to it. The grouping of sounds, their forms in the air as they rang out and faded, said something comforting to him about the rule of Creation. What the music said was that there is a right way for things to be ordered so that life might not always be just tangle and drift, but have a shape, an aim. It was a powerful argument that life did not just happen.”
Charles Frazier, Cold Mountain

William T. Vollmann
“So he lent her books. After all, one of life's best pleasures is reading a book of perfect beauty; more pleasurable still is rereading that book; most pleasurable of all is lending it to the person one loves: Now she is reading or has just read the scene with the mirrors; she who is so lovely is drinking in that loveliness I've drunk.”
William Vollmann

“Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.”
Anthony G. Oettinger

Elvis Costello
“Writing about music is like dancing about architecture - it's really a stupid thing to want to do.”
Elvis Costello
