If your music comes from your heart and soul, and if you feel it inside yourself, it will affect others in the same way.*
Robert Schumann

No two human beings ever experience two sensations, experiences, feelings, or thoughts identically. Everything changes. Everything is always different.**
Keith Haring

Robert Schumann is almost right –
Here’s his statement again with one change:
If your music comes from your heart and soul,
and if you feel it inside yourself,
it will affect others in some different way.

That the person for whom we
make, compose, sing, doodle, expound, ideate, fix
this thing, feels differently about it is
exactly the point: we want others
to feel alive as only they can feel alive.

And on it goes.
