"Robbing people of their actual history is the same as robbing them of part of themselves. It's a crime."Fuka-Eri thought about that for a moment.Tengo went on, "Our memory is made up of our individual memories and our collective memories. The two are intimately linked. And history is our collective memory. If our collective memory is taken from us - is rewritten - we lose the ability to sustain our true selves."

"Most of Jesus' life is told through the four Gospels of the New Testament, known as the Canonical gospels, written by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. These are not biographies in the modern sense but accounts with allegorical intent. They are written to engender faith in Jesus as the Messiah and the incarnation of God, and not to provide factual data about Jesus's life. This left the door of exaggeration open. And through that door all kinds of mystical non-sense crept in and made place right alongside the good philosophical teachings of Jesus."

"They call me before they go into production, when they have a prototype, and they call legitimate saxophonists, too. As opposed to the other kind."
Production
"The more original something is, the more of a threat it seems until the people catch up with it. That happened with Thelonious Monk. It happened with anybody who is really original."

"You have to sound sad first of all, then maybe later you can sound good."
First
"It starts with a single sound. If there's something in that sound, then it's worth continuing."
Sound
"It's very important to go through periods where you sound just rotten and you know it, and you have to persevere or give up."
Sound
"If you have music you want to play that no one asks you to play, you have to go out and find where you can play it. It's called do or die."
Music
"Play difficult and interesting things. If you play boring things, you risk losing your appetite. Saxophone can be tedious with too much of the same."
Appetite
"There is an awful lot of what I call recreational jazz going on, where people go out and learn a particular language or style and become real sharks on somebody else's language."
People
"The potential for the saxophone is unlimited."

"I started in New Orleans music and played all through the history of jazz."
