Honeybees and Distant Thunder Quotes

“The highest form of human achievement was music. Human beings might have dirty, repulsive aspects to them, but out of the sordid swamp that was humanity - no, it was precisely because of this chaotic swamp - the beautiful lotus flower of music would bloom.”

“What a strange thing music was. It was just one small individual up there performing, and the notes created by those fingers were here one moment and gone the next. Yet what was there was almost the definition of the eternal. The wonderment of a living creature, with a finite life, creating the eternal. Through that fleeting, transient moment of music, one was in touch with eternity.”

“Music always had to be of the now. It couldn't just be something preserved in a museum, and it was meaningless unless it was alive in the present. If you were satisfied with merely unearthing a lovely fossil, then music became no more than a relic from the past.”
