"The more beautiful it is, the more obvious that it should feature the French horn."
-Jeff Nelson (horn, Canadian Brass)

"But would you kindly ponder this question: What would your good do if evil didn't exist, and what would the earth look like if all the shadows disappeared? After all, shadows are cast by things and people. Here is the shadow of my sword. But shadows also come from trees and from living beings. Do you want to strip the earth of all trees and living things just because of your fantasy of enjoying naked light?"
~The Master and Margarita, Mikhail Bulgakov

"'I do find it absurd that a man of his intelligence should suffer over a person of that sort, who isn't even interesting- because they say she's an idiot,' she added with the wisdom of people not in love who believe a man of sense should be unhappy only over a person who is worth it; which is rather like being surprised that anyone should condescend to suffer from cholera because of so small a creature as the comma bacillus."
~Swann's Way, Marcel Proust
