Music
Quotes - Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist
“The
pause makes you think the song will end. And then the song isn't really over,
so you're relieved. But then the song does actually end, because every song
ends, obviously, and THAT. TIME. THE. END. IS. FOR. REAL.”

“Film
as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and
goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.”

Plato, The Republic
“It's
just nice, I guess. Knowing that someone else can put into words what I feel.
That there are people who have been through things worse than I have, and they
come out on the other side okay. Not only that, but they made some kind of
twisted, fucked-up sense of the completely senseless. They made it mean
something. These songs tell me I'm not alone. If you look at it at that way,
music... music can see you through anything.”

you could be mine / or maybe we’ll be entwined / aimless in this sexless
foreplay.”

“Music
is a proud, temperamental mistress. Give her the time and attention she
deserves, and she is yours. Slight her and there will come a day when you call
and she will not answer. So I began sleeping less to give her the time she
needed.”

Children of Ilúvatar hearken still unsated to the voices of the Sea, and yet
know not for what they listen.”

“Do
you remember what Darwin says about music? He claims that the power of
producing and appreciating it existed among the human race long before the
power of speech was arrived at. Perhaps that is why we are so subtly influenced
by it. There are vague memories in our souls of those misty centuries when the
world was in its childhood.'
That's
a rather broad idea,' I remarked.
One's
ideas must be as broad as Nature if they are to interpret Nature,' he
answered.”
