“It scares me to think how bad my life would have been if I would have still been with you. When I was with you, I was losing my peace, my smile, my confidence without even realising it. And that’s why without you, I feel a sense of relief. But when I look back now, it hurts to realise how much I was ready to tolerate for someone who was never good for me, even when they kept using me.”

“The Pythagoreans' discovery that there was a relationship between musical intervals and numerical ratios led to the belief that the study of mathematics was the key to the understanding of the structure and order of the universe. Astronomy and harmony, they said, were sister sciences, one for the eyes and one for the ears). However, it was not until two millennia later that Galileo and his successors showed the sense in which it is true that the book of the universe is written in numbers.”

“Later, for the first time in a very long time, I heard my aunt play the piano. Its tone was soft, and just like I remembered it.

“The four who stopped running, who stood still at last in 1966, looking curiously about them, were beings such as the modern world had never seen. Only in ancient times, when boy emperors and Pharaohs were clothed, even fed, with pure gold, had very young men commanded an equivalent adoration, fascination and constant, expectant scrutiny.”

“At the first chord of an old hymn, the music took Joann back and grounded her in the present simultaneously. The only thing better than being in the arms of her family was to be in the arms of Jesus, and the music reminded her how blessed she was. Nothing was as glorious as being with loved ones, celebrating God’s goodness in the company of believers.”

“Our society seems something akin to an auditorium full of people holding drums. And the insanity inherent in this scene is that every person is clutching stacks of blank sheet music, no one knows what a metronome is, and none of these apparent musicians have a lick of musical experience. And in the deafening chaos of the acoustic bedlam that fills every corner of that room, every single person is voicing the incessant demand that everyone else in the room march to the beat of their own particular drum (even though they’re entirely uncertain as to what that beat is). And in the ensuing pandemonium, the beat that I’m going to march to is the one that marches me right out of that room.”
