My thoughts, stories, and photos on travel, music, art, education, and life's daily quarks - that which continually sharpens my mind and softens my spirit.
A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. ~ Leopold Stokowski
Music is the art which is most nigh to tears and memory. ~Oscar Wilde
Most people use music as a couch; they want to be pillowed on it, relaxed and consoled for the stress of daily living. But serious music was never meant to be soporific.
~Aaron Copland
There's music in the sighing of a reed;
There's music in the gushing of a rill;
There's music in all things, if men had ears:
Their earth is but an echo of the spheres.
~Lord Byron

"I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls." ~ Anaïs Nin
