- How to Play Music in 9/8
The more that we understand, the more that we can connect and the more that we can get out of music and cultures that we previously were unfamiliar with. Ignorance is not just not knowing things. It's also the inability to connect with people, and that can lead to ugliness.

- The Music You Hate by Adam Neely
I notice a lot of times people often hate things that are really close to what they do or like. For example, sometimes, I might see a drummer that does a lot of things I'm really into, but maybe there's one thing they do that... just drives me nuts. That's way more frustrating than seeing somebody do something that's completely unrelated to my vision.

- Alchemy
Alchemy: the science of understanding, deconstructing, and reconstructing matter. However, it is not an all-powerful art. It is impossible to create something out of nothing. If one wishes to obtain something, something of equal value must be given. This is the law of equivalent exchange; the basis of all alchemy. In accordance with this law, there is a taboo among alchemists. Human transmutation is strictly forbidden. For what could equal the value of a human soul?

Love and hate are not opposites. The opposite of loving something is being indifferent to it because loving or hating implies that you care about it in one direction or another.

But I see this spark in you. It's amazing. It's why I push you. But it's yours. Whatever you choose to do with it, you'll be great. Look, call me when you can, okay? I love you. You don't have to say it back, though.
Arima Kousei
You're like a cat. When I come up to you, you run far away. But when I'm hurt, you show up playfully, as if to share the pain. That's why... you're so endearing to me.
Frédéric Chopin
Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art.
Frédéric Chopin
Bach is an astronomer discovering the most marvellous stars. Beethoven challenges the universe... I - I only try to express the soul and heart of man.
Frédéric Chopin
It is dreadful when something weighs on your mind, not to have a soul to unburden yourself to. You know what I mean. I tell my piano the things I used to tell you.
Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 Astronaut
From out there on the Moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, "Look at that, you son of a bitch!"
Greta Thunberg
People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are at the beginning of mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth.

And he learned an important lesson. The problem with taking from someone when you have nothing to gain is that one day, that person may wind up with nothing to lose.

I assume he's doing the same as every human: Some good days, some bad days. He's got a few friends, a few people he can't stand. He's learning some things, all by himself, and hopefully learning to ask for help when he needs it. He's messing up and trying again, and messing up again and then getting things wrong, and then trying to make them right. That's what everyone does.

It wasn't like I heard a bell ring or anything. I just suddenly had this calm feeling, like the air inside my lungs was the same as the air outside my body. It was peaceful.
Kurzgesagt
- Why Age? Should We End Aging Forever?
The end of biological aging would not mean the end of death in any way. It's more like a summer evening when you were a kid, and your mom called you inside. You just wanted to keep playing - have a little more fun during sunset before you went to sleep. It's not about playing outside forever - just a little longer until we feel tired.
The Cosmos
Why do we still fight? Why do we still have disputes that continue to bring despair to this day? We can try to explain all we want our unusually hostile behavior. Yet realizing that we are but a pale blue dot drifting in the vastness of space makes it all seem so trivial and unneeded. It is extraordinary to see in the bigger picture just how vulnerable we really are.
The Spacebar
Which thumb should we use to press down on the spacebar? Both of course! To do so, use the thumb opposite to the finger that you just used to type the last character. This way, you spread the effort between the two. It takes practice, but you'll get it down. Happy optimizing!
“What is classical music to you? What does it mean to you?”
Playing classical music is my way of enriching not only my life, but those of others as well. If I let my soul, my ears, and my imagination lead the way, my fingers will come right along, and I will have made life wealthier, even for just a few minutes.
