Quote by Wynton Marsalis

What I really have in my head, my imagination, my understanding of music, I never really get that out.

What I really have in my head, my imagination, my understand

Summary

This quote suggests that the person feels a disconnect between their internal musings and their ability to express their ideas or emotions through music. Despite having a rich imagination and deep understanding of music, they struggle to fully translate their thoughts into actual compositions or performances. They feel a creative blockade that impedes them from fully realizing the potential within their mind, leaving them longing for a way to bridge the gap between their inner artistic world and their external expression of it.

I really don't know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it is because in addition to the fact that the sea changes and the light changes, and ships change, it is because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have, in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch it, we are going back from whence we came.

The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved.
