“Music is the soundtrack to every good and bad time we will ever have.”

“If you learn to not dislike all music then life's soundtrack will always be nice, if you learn to respect the purpose of every smell, then life will never smell bad, if you taste everything positively then life will never taste bad, if you find some beauty in everything then life will always be aesthetic, if you find joy in even rough surfaces then life will always feel good.”

“Music is the soundtrack of our lives.”

“We act out our lives to a soundtrack, thought Isabel, the music that becomes, for a spell, out favourite and is listened to again and again until it stands for the time itself. But that was about all the scripting that we achieved; the rest, for most of us, was extemporising.”

“Every life has a soundtrack.”

“The measure of one's love for good poetry and for good music is the hatred, the violent hatred, one feels for bad poetry and bad music.”
