Alan Watts: “Life is like music for its own sake. We are living in an eternal now, and when we listen to music we are not listening to the past, we are not listening to the future, we are listening to an expanded present.”
Алан Уоттс: "Жизнь похожа на музыку в ее восприятии. Мы живем в вечном "Сейчас" и когда мы слушаем музыку мы не переживаем снова через нее прошлое, не предвосхищаем будущее, мы расширяем момент присутсвия в настоящем"

Benjamin Britten "On Music" (p.62): "Music is a world of its own. One should enjoy music, not so much because it is connected with actual life, but because of the way it shapes itself; one gets fascinated by its tunes, rhythms, and harmonies for their own sake."
