There's no security on this earth, only opportunity.

Summary

This quote suggests that there is no guarantee of safety or stability in life, only the potential for growth and success. Instead of seeking comfort in a false notion of security, it encourages individuals to embrace risks and seize opportunities. It reminds us that life is filled with uncertainty, but within those uncertainties lies the potential for personal and professional fulfillment. By embracing uncertainty and taking calculated risks, one can find greater success and fulfillment than simply settling for security.

One receives as reward for much ennui, despondency, boredom --such as a solitude without friends, books, duties, passions must bring with it --those quarter-hours of profoundest contemplation within oneself and nature.

There is always inequity in life. Some men are killed in a war and some men are wounded, and some men never leave the country, and some men are stationed in the Antarctic and some are stationed in San Francisco.

From picking a director, sometimes picking a writer, to the actors, the wardrobe, set design, editing, music, and marketing.

The making of music is profoundly affected by the market.

Good music comes out of people playing together, knowing what they want to do and going for it. You have to sweat over it and bug it to death. You can't do it by pushing buttons and watching a TV screen.
