Blue Quote by Hermann Hesse
“The old man slowly raised himself from the piano stool, fixed those cheerful blue eyes piercingly and at the same time with unimaginable friendliness upon him, and said: "Making music together is the best way for two people to become friends. There is none easier. That is a fine thing. I hope you and I shall remain friends. Perhaps you too will learn how to make fugues, Joseph.”

![“Gradually, at the concerts, I began to hear calls for 'the fat girl'… Then I would jump up for the piano stool, forgetting about my size [145 lbs at age 13], and work to get all the laughs I could get.” quote by Sophie Tucker](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/4ba/sophie-tucker-30883_age_gradually-at-the-concerts-i-began-to-hea_2473624.jpg)
![“Drue [Langlois] and I started making music together before we started the Art Lodge, so I guess musical collaboration came first. The music we made, and our performances, always had a visual component. I could never play an instrument, so these other elements compensated for that a little.” quote by Michael Dumontier](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/1bb/michael-dumontier-43177_art_drue-langlois-and-i-started-making-music_1524893.jpg)
