Commerce, n. A kind of transaction in which A plunders from B the goods of C, and for compensation B picks the pocket of D of money belonging to E. – Ambrose Bierce, The Cynic’s World Book, 1906
The people who are competing business-wise out there want what other successful labels and artists have. I dont want what they have I want my own path, my own sound, my own identity. Record labels care nothing about identity or artistic freedom, they want good business. – Joe Nichols
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature — trees, flowers, grass — grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence…. We need silence to be able to touch souls. – Mother Teresa
