Danh ngôn của John Coltrane (Sứ mệnh: 9)

I start from one point and go as far as possible. But, unfortunately, I never lose my way. I 'localize,' which is to say that I think always in a given space. I rarely think of the whole of a solo, and only very briefly. I always return to the small part of the solo that I was in the process of playing.
My music is the spiritual expression of what I am - my faith, my knowledge, my being.
I think that music, being an expression of the human heart, or of the human being itself, does express just what is happening - the whole of human experience at the particular time that it is being expressed.
I think music is an instrument. It can create the initial thought patterns that can change the thinking of the people.
