Billy Strayhorn

Ever up and onward.

I'm not fit company for man or beast.

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

Romance is mush, stifling those who strive.

You're in a mess, and in excess.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

All music is beautiful.
