"We need magic, and bliss, and power, myth, and celebration and religion in our lives, and music is a good way to encapsulate a lot of it."—Jerry Garcia
"Theatre is a lunatic asylum, and the opera is a refuge for incurables."—Gioacchino Rossini
"No opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible."—W.H Auden
"Without music, life would be a mistake."—Nietzsche
You're in trouble if:
"you're a baritone in an Italian opera and you expect to get the girl."
"you're a soprano in a romantic opera and expect to live."

“In beholding old stones we may feel our anxieties about our achievements–and lack of them–slacken . . . Vast landscapes [and seascapes] can have an anxiety–reducing effect similar to ruins, for they are the representatives of infinite space, as ruins are the representatives of infinite time, against which our weak, short-lived bodies seem no less inconsequential than those of moths or spiders.”—Alain de Botton in Status Anxiety
