Take care in your minutes, and the hours will take care of themselves

Any way you take them, the blues are sure not dying. They're a steady roller; but you can't study up on them to sing them. You got to study up on people. I can be laying on the bed and something will come to me of what I've seen. I'll get up, get my guitar, and I'll make a blues telling what I feel. The blues are what you know.

To live outside the law you must be honest.

The blues is not about trying to feel better. It is about trying to make the others feel worse.

As we know,there are known knowns. There are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know. There is another way to phrase that, and that is that the absence of evidence is not an evidence of absence.

(Il y a des choses que nous savons que nous connaissons. Et il y en a d'autres que nous savons ne pas connaître. C'est-à-dire qu'il y a des choses dont nous savons que, pour l'instant, nous ne les connaissons pas. Mais il y a aussi des choses inconnues que nous ne connaissons pas. Il y a des choses dont nous ne savons pas que nous ne les connaissons pas. En résumé, l'abscence de preuve n'est pas la preuve d'une abscence)

Whatever women must do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.
