“Perhaps the answers to these questions require fundamental advances at the interface of physics, the arts, and neuroscience. The deep links between musical form and physical form may be unveiled by understanding how both kinds of knowledge-music and physics-arise together in human brains and nowhere else. After all, brains, regardless of how mysterious they are, are the most complex structures in the universe.”

“Press thy suit, yet with moderation;
A blade of grass cannot pierce a mountain.
If the sum that illumines the world
Were to dry nigher, the world would be consumed”

“Just Friends
I know that I don't own you,
and perhaps I never will,
so anger when you're with her,
I have no right to feel
I know that you don't owe me,
and I should ask for more;
I shouldn't feel so let down,
all the times when you don't call
What I feel—I should show you,
so when you're around I won't;
I knwo I've no right to feel it
but it doesn't mean I don't.”

“It’s not me that’s glorified in acts of worship. It’s the worshipers! I don’t hear the words they say. I look inside at the humility. That broken-open lowliness is the reality, not the language! Forget phraseology. I want burning, burning.”
