Ann Patchett, Bel Canto

“She sang as if she was saving the life of every person in the room.”
Ann Patchett, Bel Canto

C.S. Lewis
“There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”
C.S. Lewis

“He believed that life, true life, was something that was stored in music. True life was kept safe in the lines of Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin while you went out in the world and met the obligations required of you. Certainly he knew (though did not completely understand) that opera wasn't for everyone, but for everyone he hoped there was something. The records he cherished, the rare opportunities to see a live performance, those were the marks by which he gauged his ability to love.”
Ann Patchett, Bel Canto
