“Music, like the visual arts, is rooted in our experience of the natural world," said Schwartz. "It emulates our sound environment in the way that visual arts emulate the visual environment." In music we hear the echo of our basic sound making instrument-the vocal tract. This explanation for human music is simpler still than Pythagoras's mathematical equations: we like the sounds that are familiar to us-specifically, we like sounds that remind us of us.”
Christine Kenneally, The First Word: The Search for the Origins of Language

“In the meantime, the works of Gordon, Lupyan, and others suggests that words are not just convenient labels for things; rather, they are extremely powerful mental devices.”
Christine Kenneally, The First Word: The Search for the Origins of Language

“One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present. —Golda Meir”
