William John Evans (Bill Evans) Quotes
Words are the children of reason and, therefore, can't explain it. They really can't translate feeling because they're not part of it. That's why it bugs me when people try to analyze jazz as an intellectual theorem. It's not. It's feeling.William John Evans

I like the dialogue between fans on the Internet. I think that's the best rock writing that's going on right now.
