You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. Fall in love with some activity and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about and it doesn't matter. - R. Feynman

Friends always meant much to him. They were the cast of a private mythology, each with his immutable sum of characteristics; several, subtly changing on the way, wandered in and out of his books in various disguises. — Paddy Leigh Fermor, recalling his old friend, Larry Durrell

Fritz Kreisler b otd 150 years ago! Great man, great artist - if somewhat unorthodox in his methods: 'I am of the opinion that a master musician is he that does not practise at all... 3 minutes' immersion of the hands in hot water is as good as three hours' practice.' Hmm...!

What a loss to music! He seemed to specialize in making the audience think he had gotten lost in a solo only to remind the audience, at the solo's end, of how incredibly found he was —a quality I don't remember in his father's playing. bbc.com/news/articles/…

This is a one-of-a-kind recording I began 50 years ago and completed earlier this year. It's a science fiction rock opera about science fiction rock operas. I promise [a] nothing else exists like it and [b] it's damn good. davidnigellloyd.com/blog/watthef-t…

Human character? I imagine that what we call personality may be an illusion, and in thinking of it as a stable thing we are trying to put a lid on a box with no sides. Human beings are really walking question marks — hows and whys and perhapses. — Lawrence Durrell

Just back from London, Athens, Edinburgh, Orkney, and Midgely [nr: Halifax]. Tim Moon interviewed me in North Yorkshire. Says Tim: "If you go to bcbradio.co.uk look for Listen Again, specialist programmes. It’s Folk Us! Monday 9pm. Should be there for 50 days."
