Emanuel Bach

Famous quotes containing the words emanuel and/or bach:

    Begin with loss and see
    how the world contradicts you,
    how the horizon implies that beyond it
    the water is not empty
    but full of ships
    all docking at another island.
    —Lynn Emanuel (b. 1949)

    Music is the effort we make to explain to ourselves how our brains work. We listen to Bach transfixed because this is listening to a human mind.
    Lewis Thomas (b. 1913)
