Quotations
Music
The most exciting rhythms seem unexpected and complex, the most beautiful melodies simple and inevitable.
-W. H. Auden
"The Complete Works of W.H. Auden: Prose, Volume III, 1949-1955"

Fashion and music are the same, because music express its period too.

Sing your life; any fool can think of words that rhyme.
-Morrissey
