“Hot can be cool cool can be hot each can be both. But hot or cool man Jazz is Jazz”

“The memory of things gone is important to a jazz musician. Things like old folks singing in the moonlight in the back yard on a hot night or something said long ago.”

“HOT love soon cool”

“Man, if you have to ask what it [jazz] is, you’ll never know.”

“I like that hot air balloon.' I pointed to the ceiling where an antique looking wooden hot air balloon hung.'Yeah, I like it too. Partly because it's cool looking, but also partly because of the irony. It weighs a ton. In this office, anything can fly. No matter what is weighing it down. Even wooden balloons. Cool, huh?”

“Propaganda begins when dialogue ends. (Quoted by Marshall McLuhan in McLuhan Hot & Cool)”

“The same hot lightning that burns your blood with passion–– cools your fears with peace.”
