All a musician can do is to get closer to the sources of nature, and so feel that he is in communion with the natural laws.
John Coltrane...That is one of the main causes of this arrogance: the idea of power. Then you lose your true power which is to be part of all, and the only way you can be part of all is to understand it. And when you don't understand, you have to go humbly to it. You don't go to school and say, 'I know what you're going to teach me'.
John ColtraneI'd like to point out to people the divine in a musical language that transcends words. I want to speak to their souls.
