“Over all, I think the main thing a musician would like to do is give a picture to the listener of the many wonderful things that he knows of and senses in the universe. . . That’s what I would like to do. I think that’s one of the greatest things you can do in life and we all try to do it in some way. The musician’s is through his music.”

“I never even thought about whether or not they understand what I’m doing the emotional reaction is all that matters as long as there’s some feeling of communication, it isn’t necessary that it be understood.”

~John Coltrane
