The following from Hope on a Tightrope:
You can't create art without courage, discipline, and being tied to a tradition.
Any time you surrender a prejudice or give up a presupposition, that's a certain death. To learn how to die in this way is to learn how to live.
I'm never optimistic. From that angle, the evidence always looks undetermined. But I am full of hope......It's a kind of blues-inflicted hope rather than a cheap American optimism that motivates me.
It takes courage to look in the mirror and see past your reflection to who you really are when you take off the mask, when you're not performing the same old routines and social roles. It takes courage to ask - how did I become so well-adjusted to injustice?
We must have an unconditional commitment to try to keep track of the humanity of each and every person to give us the courage to love, serve, and sacrifice.
Love what you do!
Do what you love!
Blues - The elegant coping with catastrophe that yields a grace and dignity so that the spirit of reesistance is never completely snuffed out.
