• Music? Music is life! It’s physical emotion - you can touch it! It’s neon ecto-energy sucked out of spirits and switched into sound waves for your ears to swallow. Are you telling me, what, that it’s boring? You don’t have time for it?

• Good beats upon the damned incessantly as sound waves beat on the ears of the deaf, but they cannot receive it. Their fists are clenched, their teeth are clenched, their eyes fast shut. First they will not, in the end they cannot, open their hands for gifts, or their mouth for food, or their eyes to see.

• El arte vive en el plano mental (el verdadero cuadro no es el conjunto de pigmentos secos sobre el lienzo ni una sinfonía es la secuencia de ondas sonoras que lo transmiten a nuestro oído) pero, como insisten los posmodernos, es reinterpretado en nuevos contextos por cada apreciador. En cuanto al cotilleo, que incluye la inmensa mayoría de nuestros pensamientos, su esencia es su relación con una parte local única del tiempo y el espacio.

  David Mumford

  Arte, Real, Único
