Jan's Notebook
Max Richter
"Everyone carries a room about inside them. This fact can be proved by means of the sense of hearing. If someone walks fast and one pricks up one's ears and listens, say at night, when everything round about is quiet, one hears, for instance, the rattling of a mirror not quite firmly fastened to the wall."
“Need is considered the cause why something came to be, but in truth it is often merely an effect of what has come to be.”
