A painter paints his pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. We provide the music, and you provide the silence.
Leopold Stokowski

“A beautiful form is better than a beautiful face; it gives a higher pleasure than statues or pictures; it is the finest of the fine arts.â€

[Suutashi]

Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time.
Jean Cocteau

Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
Tochter aus Elysium,
wir betreten feuertrunken,
Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!
Deine Zauber binden wieder,
was die Mode streng geteilt;
alle Menschen werden Brüder,
wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt.
- Ode an die Freude, Friedrich Schiller / Ludwig van Beethoven

Joy, beautiful gods-spark,
daughter from Elysium,
we enter, fire-drunk,
heavenly one, your sanctuary.
Your magic binds again
what fashion strictly divided;
all men become brothers
where your gentle wing resides.
- Ode To Joy, Friedrich Schiller / Ludwig van Beethoven

Is the "men" above appropriate? Or should it be "humans"?

"Between our birth and death we may touch understanding, As a moth brushes a window with its wing."
-Christopher Fry

[Suutashi]

Art is the fatal net which catches these strange moments on the wing like mysterious butterflies, fleeing the innocence and distraction of common men.
Giorgio de Chirico

"All pain is per se and especially in excess, destructive and ultimately fatal in its nature and effects."
-James Young Simpson

[Suutashi]

This life is filled with hurt
When happiness doesn't work
Trust me and take my hand
When the lights go out you will understand

Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain - Three Days Grace

[Commi-Ninja]

I remember when we used to laugh
About nothing at all
It was better than going mad
From trying to solve all the problems we're going through
Forget 'em all
Those Nights - Skillet

Tsurai omoide toka ikutsu attanokana?
Donna tanosiii hiwo
korekara ha taisetsuni shiteikunokana?
Chikaku no kouende atsumattane itsumo
yonaka made ookinakoe dashite waratte tane,
zutto... zutto...
- Days, shela (Hikaru no Go Ending 4)

How many sad memories did we have?
What kind of happy days are we going to
hold on preciously from now on?
We always gathered at the nearby park
and laughed out loud to the middle of the night,
always... always...
- Real-Fansubbers translation

I immediately thought of this song (or rather the last three lines I quoted) when I read Commi's quote

[Suutashi]

Dakara lonely lonely setsunakute kowaresouna yoru ni sae
Lonely lonely kimi dake wa original love wo tsuranuite
Ano hito dake kokoro no seikantai
Wasuretai ne...

Lonely, lonely. At night I fall apart
Lonely, lonely. Just keep true love in your heart
Wish I could forget all your
Erogenous zones of the heart

Love me love me tsuyoku yowai kokoro
Kiss me kiss me aseru hitori no yoru


Love me, love me. Your heart strong yet fragile
Kiss me, kiss me. Lonely nights you lie awake

Hitori No Yoru - Lonely Night - Porno Graffiti

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?
Harry Callahan - Dirty Harry

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."
