—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Only the drum is confident, it thinks the world has not changed;”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
“I can’t stand to sing the same song the same way two nights in succession, let alone two years or ten years. If you can, then it ain’t music, it’s close-order drill or exercise or yodeling or something, not music.”
—Billie Holiday (1915–1959)
