Certain kinds of speed flow intensity density of attacks density of interaction... Music that concentrates on those qualities is I think easier achieved by free improvisation between people sharing a common attitude a common language.

I don't think art is propaganda it should be something that liberates the soul provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further. It celebrates humanity instead of manipulating it.

Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.

I've also long since realized that the way to really engage children is to give out prizes it's amazing how it concentrates their minds.

Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.

Older fatherhood isn't all bad: testosterone rates drop about 1% per year as men age making them less reactive and more patient and a professionally established middle-aged man is likely to have more time and money to devote to his kids than a twenty-something who's just getting started.

The excitement of learning separates youth from old age. As long as you're learning you're not old.

To separate children from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone.
