Music is very personal. It means different things to different people. To you it means belonging. To me it means knowing I exist.

You can't be like pop stars, but you can be part of their story. You can be their fan.

My life so common it disappears and sometimes even music cannot substitute for tears.

If you think the music business is the be-all and end-all of life, you're in big trouble.

In these days [1908], when all things and memories of the past are at length become not only subservient to, but submerged by, the matters and needs of the immediate present, those paths of knowledge that lead into regions seemingly remote from such needs are somewhat discredited; and the aims of those that follow them whither they lead are regarded as quite out of touch with the real interests of life. Very greatly is this so with archaeology, and the study of ancient and curious tongues, and searchings into old thoughts on high and ever-insistent questions; a public which has hardly time to read more than its daily newspaper and its weekly novel has denounced - almost dismissed - them, with many other noble and wonderful things, as 'unpractical,' whatever that vague and hollow word may mean.

Type has rhythm, just like music.
