Slavery will not be overthrown without excitement, a most tremendous excitement.

Enslave the liberty of but one human being and the liberties of the world are put in peril.

There must be no compromise with slavery - none whatever. Nothing is gained, everything is lost, by subordinating principle to expedience.

I will be as harsh as truth, and uncompromising as justice... I am in earnest, I will not equivocate, I will not excuse, I will not retreat a single inch, and I will be heard.

Teach players the game at an early age and stop treating them like cash cows for everyone to profit off of.

Leave your ego, play the music, love the people.

You have a right to your opinion about the work that you're doing. An artist is as equally important as the director. If you believe that, you can work in any circumstances.
