“Music is the cup that holds the wine of silence. Sound is that cup, but empty. Noise is that cup, but broken.”
“Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence.”
“Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven?”
“Fill till the wine o'erswell the cup”
“If the cup is empty, it can be filled.”
“It is because of its emptiness that the cup is useful.”
