“The day I realized Fonny was in love with me was strange. It was the day he gave mama that sculpture. I dumped water over Fonny’s head and scrubbed Fonny's back in the bathtub in a time that seems so long ago. I don’t remember that we ever had any curiosity concerning each other's bodies. Fonny loved me too much. And that meant that there had never been any occasion for shame between us. We were a part of each other. Flesh of each other's flesh which we so took for granted that we never thought of the flesh. And yet, it was no surprise to me when I finally understood that he was the most beautiful person I had seen in all my life.”
If Beale Street Could Talk

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“L’harmonie, me disait-il, n’est qu’un accessoire éloigné dans la musique imitative; il n’y a dans l’harmonie proprement dite aucun principe d’imitation. Elle assure, il est vrai, les intonations; elle porte témoignage de leur justesse; et, rendant les modulations plus sensibles, elle ajoute de l’énergie à l’expresson, et de la grâce au chant. Mais c’est de la seule mélodie que sort cette puissance invincible des accents passionés; c’est d’elle que dérive tout le pouvoir de la musique sur l’âme. Formez les plus savantes successions d’accords sans mélange de mélodie, vous serez ennuyés au bout d’un quart d’heure. De beaux chants sans aucune harmonie sont longtemps à l’épreuve de l’ennui. Que l’accent du sentiment anime les chants les plus simples, ils seront intéressants. Au contraire, une mélodie qui ne parle point chante toujours mal, et la seule harmonie n’a jamais rien su dire au coeur.”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Julie, ou La nouvelle Heloise. Lettres de deux amans, habitans d'une petite ville au pied des Alpes. Recueillies et publiées Volume 2

Oscar Wilde
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
Oscar Wilde

“If plan A fails, we still have the rest of the alphabet”
Loesje

Yasmina Khadra
“Music is the true breath of life. We eat so we won't starve to death. We sing so we can hear ourselves live.”
Yasmina Khadra, Swallows of Kabul
