“Which is this magical listening station, whereupon all musical worth is decided?”

“...ultimately, all diseases are magical diseases...("Gas Station Carnival")”

“Music is, to me, proof of the existence of God. It is so extraordinarily full of magic, and in tough times of my life I can listen to music and it makes such a difference.”

“Ah, the magic of music, with it, all things are possible.”

“Music acts like a magic key, to which the most tightly closed heart opens.”

“Right there in that room, listening to the tape Laura gave me, I decided that I wanted something more than what I’d allowed myself to become. Listening to the voices and piano notes fade in and out, I decided that I wanted to be happy. If I had to fight for things in life, I wanted to fight for something bigger than the right to eat with a fork. I wanted to love and be loved and feel alive. I had no idea how to find my way, but listening to that music wash over me, I felt, for the first time, that the struggle I faced would be worth it.”
