Derek Holt's List: Music

• “All music emerges from silence, to which sooner or later it must return,” he writes. “How we live depends on our relationship with death; how we make music depends on our relationship with silence.”
• • This is unreal.
  Add Sticky Note
• “Our intense need to understand will always be a powerful stumbling block to our attempts to reach God in simple love, and must always be overcome. For if you do not overcome this need to understand, it will undermine your quest. It will replace the darkness which you have pierced to reach God with clear images of something which, however good, however beautiful, however Godlike, is not God.”
