“Come then, and let us pass a leisure hour in story-telling, and our story shall be
the education of our heroes.
By all means.
And what shall be their education? Can we find a better than the traditional

soul.

Shall we begin education with music, and go on to gymnastic afterwards?
By all means.

I do.”
― Plato, The Republic

“How can I describe my life to you? I think a lot, listen to music. I’m fond of flowers”
― Susan Sontag, Death Kit
