4. "There's a Japanese visual art in which the artist is forced to be spontaneous. He must paint on a thin stretched parchment with a special brush and black water paint in such a way that an unnatural or interrupted stroke will destroy the line or break through the parchment. Erasures or changes are impossible. These artists must practice a particular discipline, that of allowing the idea to express itself in communication with their hands in such a direct way that deliberation cannot interfere." - Bill Evans

5. "I believe in things that are developed through hard work. I always like people who have developed long and hard, especially through introspection and a lot of dedication.
