    “People nowadays like to be together not in the old-fashioned way of, say, mingling on the piazza of an Italian Renaissance city, but, instead, huddled together in traffic jams, bus queues, on escalators and so on. It’s a new kind of togetherness which may seem totally alien, but it’s the togetherness of modern technology.”
    —J.G. (James Graham)

    “As polishing expresses the vein in marble, and grain in wood, so music brings out what of heroic lurks anywhere. The hero is the sole patron of music.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Thou waitest late and com’st alone,
    When woods are bare and birds are flown,”
    —William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
