Great musicians accept everything that they hear and find something good. They take what they like and they throw away what they don’t like.
“People don’t have any mercy. They tear you limb from limb, in the name of love. Then, when you’re dead, when they’ve killed you by what they made you go through, they say you didn’t have any character. They weep big, bitter tears — not for you. For themselves, because they’ve lost their toy.”
James Baldwin | Another Country
