“What an odd thing it is to see an entire species -- billions of people -- playing with, listening to meaningless tonal patterns, occupied and preoccupied for much of their time by what they call 'music.' (-- The Overlords, from Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End)”
“Popular music is a microcosm of the culture, Eliza. It reflects the mentality of the population.”
“But music is reflection of self, we just explain it, and then we get ourchecks in the mail.”
“All music is beautiful. ”
“The beauty you see in me is a reflection of you.”
