“It’s just another name for sorcery, we still believe in what we never see; our perception is but a camera trick.”

“A good piece of music is like knocking a hole in the wall so that you can see out on another place you didn’t know existed. If your consciousness is not constantly evolving somehow or other and you just keep going round the same room again and again, then you’re sort of trapped - and every good piece of music - or art or writing - stops you feeling trapped. Maybe that is what religion is as well, I don’t really know. But it’s not really escapism, that’s the point.”
