There Comes A Time Quotes - Page 5

• Words, as is well known, are the great foes of reality. I have been for many years a teacher of languages. It is an occupation which at length becomes fatal to whatever share of imagination, observation, and insight an ordinary person may be heir to.

• The question is not about whether it will work or not. It's how quickly we can pull it off. Structural change will happen.

The old model doesn't work anymore. It's a question of speed.

• I feel like there are moments where musicians may be more interested - or culture in general - to show roots and where one comes from. And later there comes a time where that has lesser importance for artists, and instead they become more interested in affiliating themselves with global or international trends.
