Quotes from Cannonball Adderley

Hipness is not a state of mind, It's a fact of life!

Strain not the laws to make their tortures grievous.

A day, an hour, of virtuous liberty Is worth a whole eternity in bondage.

When I read the epitaphs of the beautiful, every inordinate desire goes out;

Music religious heat inspires, It wakes the soul, and lifts it high,

There's no future without the past and anybody who doesn't really understand where jazz has come from has no right to try to direct where it's going.
