When the book you’re reading takes a turn you weren’t prepared for so you slowly close the book & just sit there like what the fuck
If you read one book a week, starting at the age of 5, and live to be 80, you will have read a grand total of 3,900 books, a little over one-tenth of 1 percent of the books currently in print.

Composers are freaking amazing.
Like someone can sit down with some sheet music and be like
This is what the violins should do.
This is what the bassoons will do.
This is what the timpani will do.
But the tuba will also do that.
But it will sound different. But good different.
And the composer will be like
The notes are going to go up here.
But down here.
And here it’s going to go back up. But it’s going to sound different. Minor. But good minor.
And then they’ll be done imagining all these sounds because the sounds will be on the paper.
And once they’re on the paper it’s different because the composer no longer needs to imagine the sounds.
Because now that they’re on paper other people can play the sounds. Because now they can see what the composer was imagining.
And then the composer gets to hear what his mind heard.
And the composer can share that with everyone.
And we get to hear it.
And it’s freaking amazing.
