Herbie Hancock

The thing that we possess, that machines don't, is the ability to exhibit wisdom.

You can practice to attain knowledge, but you can't practice to attain wisdom.

Without wisdom, the future has no meaning, no valuable purpose.

While knowledge may provide useful point of reference, it cannot become a force to guide the future.

I'm always interested in looking forward toward the future. Carving out new ways of looking at things.

But I have to be careful not to let the world dazzle me so much that I forget that I'm a husband and a father.

I think there's a great beauty to having problems. That's one of the ways we learn.

It's not the style that motivates me, as much as an attitude of openness that I have when I go into a project.

Music happens to be an art form that transcends language.
