Russell Sherman Quotes

As Bartok Put It So Succinctly: "Competitions Are For Horses." Nothing Could Be More Barbaric That The Practice Or Ranking Artists As Though They Were Divers Or Figure Skaters ... What One Suspects Is That The Appetite For Dividing The World Into Winners And Losers, Anointed And Anonymous, Is So Compulsive That It Feeds With Special, Vindictive Hunger On The Most Elusive And Ephemeral Of Subjects. For If Music Can Be Reduced To Games Of Power And Success, Then Innocence-love Without Profit-can Be Dealt A Crushing Blow.
