Thank God for music — and I mean that literally. Thank you, God, for the unlikely gift of music.
I enjoy writing more than anything else in the world, but how profane the scratching of the pen sounds besides Schubert’s Ave Maria!
How grateful we should be that such sounds can affect us so!
A blessing, a blessing, a blessing.

There are lots of things like that, no? — Things that are absolutely fantastic and yet kind of weird, kind of inconsistent with the bare facts of life — the divine adornments that add up to make life so incredibly enjoyable.
We can imagine a world without those things, but it would be much, much duller.
That sounds can be so pleasant, so exhilarating, so meaningful!
That food can taste so good.
Sex! Imagine a world without orgasms? Yes, thank God for sex!
Thank God that we've evolved in such a way — and the world's evolved in such a way — that where we meet the world we can experience so much pleasure.
