NICK WATERHOUSE

“And that music is so powerful, that it’s quite beyond my control. And, ah… when I’m in the grips of it, I don’t feel pleasure and I don’t feel pain, either physically or emotionally. Do you understand what I’m talking about? Have you ever, have you ever felt like that? When you just, when you just, you couldn’t feel anything, and you didn’t want to either.” - James Osterberg, Jr. "Prose consists less and less of words chosen for the sake of their meaning, and more and more of phrases tacked together like the sections of a prefabricated hen-house.” - George Orwell "You can teach a person notes, you know, you can teach a person to play the piano, go to voice school, but the one thing you can't teach, is you can't teach feeling." - Ray Charles "I have at times a futile urge to explain to whoever will listen why it is that the whole apparatus of intellectualism bores me. But you have to use the language of intellectualism to do it. Which is bunk... Thinking in terms of ideas destroys the ability to think in terms of emotions and sensations." - Raymond Chandler
