“There remained only rare periods of
amorousness that came over the spouses, but they did not last long.
These were islands that they would land on temporarily, but then they
would put out again to the sea of concealed enmity that expressed itself
in estrangement from each other.”
― Leo Tolstoy, The Death of Ivan Ilych

“I don’t know how to be silent when my heart is speaking.”

“[Jimi Hendrix] dreamed of amassing musicians from all over the world in Woodstock and they would sit in a field in a circle and play and play. It didn’t matter what key or tempo or what melody, they would keep on playing through their discordance until they found a common language. Eventually they would record this abstract universal language of music in his new studio.
“The language of peace. You dig?” I did.”
― Patti Smith, Just Kids
