It's important to respect and exhaustively study the masters of music, but as you grow and develop it's important to use their discoveries, not as a final destination but as a catalyst for your original ideas.
— Carl Orr
The most professional Carl Orr quotes that will transform you to a better person
Music that is created with the primary aim of impressing other musicians fails to connect with the vast majority of listeners.
Your development as a musician will come to an eventual standtill if you do not develop yourself as a human being. Only by having a creative, expansive and inspiring life can you create creative, expansive and inspiring music.
I have found that the best cure for self pity is to do something to help someone else.
