“Part of jazz is the illusion of spontaneity and Monk played the piano as though he’d never seen one before.”
― Geoff Dyer, But Beautiful: A Book about Jazz

“Mingus had always known that that was what the blues was: music played to the dead, calling them back, showing them the way back to the living. Now he realized part of the blues was the opposite of that: the desire to be dead yourself, a way of helping the living find the dead.”
― Geoff Dyer, But Beautiful: A Book about Jazz

“People get addicted to feeling offended all the time because it gives them a high; being self-righteous and morally superior feels good.”
― Mark Manson, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life

“Humans are a hopeless lot. They will always in the end of the day resort to being selfish and vain. All the good people in the world couldn't stop the medieval torture, the holocaust, 9-11, and the endless genocides that still occur to this day. Love will prevail is a silly fairy tail. If that were the case it would have prevailed by now!”
― Albert A
