Music is the cup which holds the wine of silence.
Me and a book is a party. Me and a book and a cup of coffee is an orgy.
Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence.

Music is the cup that holds the wine of silence. Sound is that cup, but empty. Noise is that cup, but broken.
Music so wishes to be heard that it sometimes calls on unlikely characters to give it voice.
