“There is no competition of sounds between a nightingale and a violin.”
“A poet is a nightingale who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds.”
“The difference between a violin and a viola is that a viola burns longer. ”
“The only competition you will ever have is the competition between your disciplined and undisciplined mind”
“The rules that govern competition between species are (and must be) very different from the rules that govern competition within species.”
“The wren and the nightingale sound nothing alike, but think how dull the world would be without the songs of both birds.—Miss Kanagawa”
