"My wishes for the planet in 2024: No killing. No killing. Don't kill anyone, anywhere, for any reason." – Sonny Rollins

2. "It’s not about your music—it’s about what makes your music your music. ... You have to have a reason for your music—something besides the technical. Make it for something. Make it for kindness, make it for peace, whatever it is. You know what I mean?" – Sonny Rollins ( as said to the New Yorker in 2020).
