“Every life has a soundtrack.”

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

“Maybe what life needs is a good soundtrack, especially during the long stretches when nothing interesting is being said. A soundtrack might dignify things a bit, ennobling us with the proper drama and tension and pathos.”

“Music from my iPod was setting my life to a dramatic soundtrack that only I could hear.”

“Most of us have a soundtrack running in the background of our lives. I access that soundtrack when I write.”

“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.”
