John Keats
"Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter: therefore, ye soft pipes, play on."
John Keats


John Cage
"If you develop an ear for sounds that are musical it is like developing an ego. You begin to refuse sounds that are not musical and that way cut yourself off from a good deal of experience."
John Cage
