“The one thing I would like to get across about my whole feeling regarding high school is how I was when I was fifteen. Gawky. Always a hem hanging down, or strap loose, or a pimple on my chin. I never knew what to do with my hair. I was a mess. And I still carry that fifteen-year-old girl around now.

“There is no piece of music that could relate to anything else but itself and its world. It is truly an independent. The one thing coplanar with music is the compositional aspect, the fact that you are composing something. Architecture is essentially a score, and what happens with it depends on the people who play it, enjoy it, use it, or hate it.” PeopleWorldPlayFactsUseHappensHateEnjoyPiecesOne ThingDependsMusic IsAspectIndependentArchitectureRelateScoreComposing Author:Rafael Vinoly

“Let the girl be thoroughly developed in body and soul, not modeled, like a piece of clay, after some artificial specimen of humanity, with a body like some plate in Godey's book of fashion, and a mind after the type of Father Gregory's pattern daughters, loaded down with the traditions, proprieties, and sentimentalities of generations of silly mothers and grandmothers, but left free to be, to grow, to feel, to think, to act. Development is one thing, that system of cramping, restraining, torturing, perverting, and mystifying, called education, is quite another.” ThinkingFeelsMindBookSoulBodyMotherHumanityGirlFatherLeftGrowsFreedomPiecesGenerationsOne ThingFashionTypeDevelopmentDaughterTraditionPatternsSillyGrandmotherArtificialPlatesClayLoadedSentimentalityProprietyRestrainingMother And Grandmother Book:History of woman suffrage Source: History of woman suffrage

“The editing process, for me, is both the most fun and the most frustrating. It's the most fun because you get to see it actually piece together.

“I want my music to be something that people use in order to access parts of themselves. So in that sense, every piece I write is about all emotions at once, about the lines in between. It's never only about one thing or another. It's emotionally getting at those things that we can't really describe - things for which we don't have labels. So yes, it's about something, and it has a use. It's neither about nothing nor about something concrete - it's about what you bring to it as a listener.” PeopleWantWritingUseOrderLinesEmotionPiecesOne ThingAccessLabelsConcreteListeners Author:Missy Mazzoli
