Quotes About Differently

Truth is one of the realities covered in the eclectic religion of our fathers by the idea of God.

I trust microphones, speakers and recordings less and less, and no longer buy into the idea that I can recreate at home, or in my earphones, the experience of hearing live acoustic instruments. The orchestra is already a set of speakers that react differently to each player, each room and each concert - it's that high level of uncertainly and unrepeatability that I like.

I would tell her that she may see the world differently from boys, and that difference is essential and good.
