“With music strong I come, with my cornets and my drums, I play not marches for accepted victors only, I play marches for conquer'd and slain persons.

I beat and pound for the dead, I blow through my embouchures my loudest and gayest for them.”
“Everyone wants to learn how to win, but no one wants to learn how to accept defeat.”
