Old Lady Quotes - Page 7

• Sometimes [playing free] doesn't happen, because maybe a guy's wife'll come in, you know, and his ego will catch him.

But when you get egos involved with playing free, you can't do it.

  Miles Davis

If a writer has to rob his mother, he will not hesitate; the 'Ode on a Grecian Urn' is worth any number of old ladies.
