“in her heart it didn't give her near the same feeling that music did. Nothing was really as good as music.”
― Carson McCullers, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter

“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
― William Shakespeare, Macbeth

“We went down into the silent garden. Dawn is the time when nothing breathes, the hour of silence. Everything is transfixed, only the light moves.”
― Leonora Carrington

“Is deviation from the locally approved norms always and everywhere to be taken as disease?”
― Bernard Wolfe, Limbo
