Here is a quote from a Greek book that I read:

Such a great roundup of quotes, @RagnerTheHiker! It’s interesting how thinkers from so long ago were asking questions we still wrestle with today.

Here are some quotes from Tommee Profitt one of my top artists.

On his cinematic sound

• “I’ve always wanted music to feel like a movie — like you’re stepping into another world.”

On creating without limits

• “I don’t ever want to make something that sounds safe. Safe isn’t inspiring.”

On working behind the scenes

• “I’m not the guy who needs to be in front of the camera. I just want to build something that moves people.”

On persistence

• “There were years where nothing was happening, but I kept showing up. That’s the part people don’t see.”

On collaboration

• “The best moments happen when you’re in a room with someone who’s not afraid to try something weird.”

On success

• “If you chase trends, you’ll always be late. If you chase your sound, you’ll always be early.”

On storytelling

• “I want every track to feel like the beginning of a story you haven’t heard yet.”

On growth

• “You get better by making a thousand things no one will ever hear.”
