my favorite lines from this book...
everyone joins a band in this life
sometimes i think the greatest talent of all is perseverance. but only sometimes.
talent is a piece of God's shadow. and under that shadow human stories intersect.
being both means being neither
but just because something is silent doesn't mean you aren't hearing it
when a higher power has plans for you, life can be full of near misses
the secret is not to make your music louder, but to make the world quieter
man searches for courage in drink,it is not courage that he finds, it is fear that he loses
this is life. things get taken away. you will learn to start over many times - or you will be useless
everyone has some place they call home
first rule of friendship, mates. learn how to keep a secret
a new band was forming with Frankie Presto at its center. this one was a family
money and music are not friends
no other talent gives your life a soundtrack. I am Music. I mark time.
"the greatest thing, you'll ever learn
is just to love, and be loved in return."
rooms are rooms, after all, as a music staff is a music staff. how you fill them is what makes them your own
what you're thinking about can be what you become. good and evil
in life, as in music, there are measures to play and measures to rest
waters calm in even the stormiest seas
you will never know all there is to know. you will learn until your final days. then you will inspire someone else.
at a certain point, your life is more about your legacy to your kids than anything else
