I realized by using the high notes of the chords as a melodic line, and by the right harmonic progression, I could play what I heard inside me. That's when I was born.
Charlie Parker

They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art.
Charlie Parker

When you take a pitch and line it somewhere, it's like you've thought of something and put it there with beautiful clarity.
Reggie Jackson

Tracey Ullman

The line between good and evil is permeable and almost anyone can be induced to cross it when pressured by situational forces.
Philip Zimbardo

The people of western Missouri are, in some respects, very peculiar. We will take Jackson county where I was born for instance. In that section the people seemed to be born fighters, the instinct being inherited from a long line of ancestors.
Cole Younger

Thor Heyerdahl
