The first was "ET," the second "Schindler's List," and third is "Saving Private Ryan". ~Steven Spielberg

I'm an untrained musician. Untrained musicians don't really have any music theory, they don't have a lot of rules. We break the rules, but it's mostly because we don't know what the rules are. It's easy for us to go to certain places, so I'm not surprised that a lot of people were amused by my songwriting style. ~Frank Black

But it's very hard to say just what we learned, how we were changed. ~Ursula K. Le Guin
