Famous Quotes & Sayings

An unforgiving nature reflects in your face. Holding negative energy drags down the facial muscles, puckers one's frown and causes lines around the mouth.

William Feather

The creative musician ... is ... the radio receiver, not the broadcasting station.

The program is there; all he has to do is receive it as far as possible.
