BILLY STRAYHORN

I think everything should happen at halfway to dawn. That's when all the heads of government should meet. I think everybody would fall in love.

My grandmother played the piano, and I used to toddle over there and pick out little things that sounded good to me.

All music is beautiful.

Ever up and onward.

A Train was born without any effort - if was like writing a letter to a friend.

Love or not, I wouldn't subject a wife to the road. It's punishment.

You're in a mess, and in excess.

If you want something hard enough, it just gets done.

I'm not fit company for man or beast.

Romance is mush, stifling those who strive.

In order to play and write, it's unique - you either do one or the other.

You're in a mess, and in excess.

Romance is mush, stifling those who strive.

I'll live a lush life in some small dive.

Ever up and onward.

If you want something hard enough, it just gets done.
