Apiece Quotes

A word for sharing things equally.

These apiece quotes cover strikingly different ground, from the emotional nature of music to a cricketer estimating the value of missed boundary shots. For more reflections, see Oblivion.

Music should be able to invoke the natural emotions in all human beings. Music is not notes fixed on apiece of paper.

Quotes by Frank Woolley
