Counterpoint Quotes

“The older we get, the more subtly we must undertake the double exercise of shedding aspects of ourselves so that we have the capacity to develop new ones.”
― Philip Kennicott, Counterpoint: A Memoir of Bach and Mourning

“For some reason I can’t explain, Bach is suited to all my moods, no matter where I am, no matter what mode of life I find myself in, work or play, thriving, surviving, or wallowing in lassitude.”
― Philip Kennicott, Counterpoint: A Memoir of Bach and Mourning
