“The pull of music, literature or painting on us is like the plucking of a string. Literally, in the case of music. Sometimes gently, sometimes vigorously, but it always causes a reaction.

We’re connected through these vibrations to nature and to each other. So, really, everything’s connected”
― Marilyn Brant, A Summer In Europe

“These days, loneliness is the new cancer—a shameful, embarrassing thing, brought upon yourself in some obscure way.
