Sobre o jazz #31

John Coltrane

"During the year 1957, I experienced, by the grace of God, a spiritual awakening which was to lead me to a richer, fuller, more productive life.
At that time, in gratitude, I humbly asked to be given the means and privilege to make others happy through music.
I feel this has been granted through His grace."

Três desejos #20

Henry Grimes

"Health. Ih I had the health, I could do anything else.

The second would be money. Not a large sum of money, but just a constant flow of money to keep me in comfort the rest of my life.

Everlasting peace and everlasting goodwill amongst everyone. So there'll be no wars, and no excuse to drop that H-bomb, and all that shit. So I'll live in peace, and spend all that money in peace!"
