Joy

The joy of reading philosophy is not just in the conclusions,
but in the activity of clear thinking itself.

The joy of reading a great book is not just in the story,
but in the exact words, sentences,
punctuation, spaces the author used;
the sound of words he produced.

Form is content.

Music is best enjoyed with eyes closed.

Great art gets better with time.

If for nothing else, life is worth living for art alone.

Among other things, I was driven to it by reflecting on the 'abridged' versions of books.
