All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about.

Jose Saramago – Some people spend their entire lives reading but never get beyond reading the words on the page, they don’t understand that the words are merely stepping stones placed across a fast-flowing river, and the reason they’re there is so that we can reach the farther shore, it’s the other side that matters.
