Once you're in a particular country and you're surrounded by musicians who are so adept at traditional music you suddenly realize how much there is to explore and digest and learn and experience.

A jellyfish is little more than a pulsating bell a tassel of trailing tentacles and a single digestive opening through which it both eats and excretes - as regrettable an example of economy of design as ever was.

I am bound to add that the excess in too little has ever proved in me more dangerous than the excess in too much the last may cause indigestion but the first causes death.

Let me be the first to tell you drinking alcohol is the worst thing to do in cold weather. Hot soup is the best because the process of digesting food helps to warm you up.

Music is the best means we have of digesting time.

A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly science into superstition and art into pedantry. Hence University education.
