In the world of art and music, you hope you get that balance where people don't need to consume the cookie-cutter, but have access to other options as well.

Some people must go to extremes to get the world in balance for themselves. Some can't bear bright lights, so wherever they go they search for the dark; they turn the lights down, anything to sustain some level of comfort.

But in the next world I shan't be doing music, with all the striving and disappointments. I shall be being it.

Language is, then, positively a distinctly human opening of and opening to the world: Not just a distinguishable or instrumental but a constitutive faculty.

I saw the Pantheon and St. Peter's Basilica when people were not there, when you can engage with art.
