College: two hundred people reading the same book. An obvious mistake. Two hundred people can read two hundred books.
John CageThe purpose of music is to sober and quiet the mind, thus making it susceptible to divine influences.
John CageWhen I hear what we call music, it seems to me that someone is talking. And talking about his feelings, or about his ideas of relationships. But when I hear traffic, the sound of traffic - here on Sixth Avenue, for instance - I donโt have the feeling that anyone is talking. I have the feeling that sound is acting. And I love the activity of sound... I donโt need sound to talk to me.
