Music is about communication… it isnt just something that maybe physically sounds good or orally sounds interesting its something far, far deeper than that. – Evelyn Glennie
And as I grew older, I then auditioned for the Royal Academy of Music in London, and they said, well, no, we wont accept you, because we havent a clue – you know – of the future of a so-called deaf musician. And I just couldnt quite accept that. – Evelyn Glennie
The human body and mind are tremendous forces that are continually amazing scientists and society. Therefore, we have no choice but to keep an open mind as to what the human being can achieve. – Evelyn Glennie
I hope the seeds I have sown will be taken up by those who will follow me because the journey I have begun cannot be undertaken in isolation. – Evelyn Glennie
I shall suggest, on the contrary, that all communication relies, to a noticeable extent on evoking knowledge that we cannot tell, and that all our knowledge of mental processes, like feelings or conscious intellectual activities, is based on a knowledge which we cannot tell. – Michael Polanyi
Im most proud of the blessings that God has bestowed upon me, in my life. Hes given me the vision to truly see that you can fall down, but you can still get back up. Hopefully Ill learn from my mistakes and have the opportunity to strengthen and improve the next thing I do. – Martin Lawrence
