"I can operate in half-a-song format...." - Quote by Frank Ocean

“Don't feel sad over someone who gave up on you, feel sorry for them because they gave up on someone who would have never given up on them.”

“You just do what you can and you have as much fun as possible.”

“I booked my first studio at like 12 or 13. Somewhere in that season of my life, singing along with the radio became me wanting to be on radio, you know. And writing Langston Hughes replica poems became me wanting to write like Stevie Wonder.”

“I wish I could play bass like Larry Graham or Bootsy Collins. My God, I'd give up just about everything else for that.”

“The effects of good music are not just because it's new; on the contrary music strikes us more the more familiar we are with it.”

“'Revolution' . There were two versions of that song but the underground left only picked up on the one that said 'count me out'.”

“Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it.”

“I like the scientific spirit-the holding off, the being sure but not too sure, the willingness to surrender ideas when the evidence is against them: this is ultimately fine-it always keeps the way beyond open.”

“Attending fully and becoming supple, Can you be as a newborn babe?”
