Music is a way to express what words can’t say.

It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.

If you want to sing out, sing out.

There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.

Music is like wine – it can be sweet or it can be sour, but it’s always emotional.

The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.

All our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind.

What I’m fighting for now in my work… for an expression relevant to all manner of blacks, poems I could take into a tavern, into the street, into the halls of a housing project.

When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?
