My thoughts and prayers are with his family through this difficult time. — Easton Corbin

The unbroken chain is that of English music itself. — Peter Ackroyd
With all the innovation in music today it’s rare to find someone like

n roll’s skeleton. — Janaka Stucky
I have tried, in all the ways I can, to make timeless music. — Judy Collins

And that's because great music has a timeless ability: To me, Sabbath are in the same league as the Beatles or Mozart. They're on the leading edge of something extraordinary. — Rob Halford
What I remember best from those times is the music itself. When it succeded, we took hold of the audience's attention, working it from a distracted, unshaped mass into spun beauty, passing the fine strands back and forth until we wove together something grander, not only music but memory, too-the particulars of past and present, stretched taut across a loom of timeless ideals. Harmony. Symmetry. Order. — Andromeda Romano-Lax

I can see everything that I'm writing, I can visualize all those things happening. — Stevie Wonder
There is a timelessness about sport. Like music and art, it is a quality that cuts across generations and nations.

Call it the spirit, the soul of sport - it will be in 2001 the same as it was in 1901. — Greg Hartung
From my stone pillow I have dreamed dreams of the mortal world above. I have heard its voices, its new music, as lullabies as I lie in my grave. I have envisioned its fantastical discoveries. I have known its courage in the timeless sanctum of my thoughts.
