Music

“‘This is music, you fool, ’ said Hunter in his ordinary tone. 'Worthless by definition. I remember sitting down to listen to a whole piece of it once. Somebody’s symphony in four movements, it was. I couldn’t make out what it was supposed to do for me. It seemed to be inviting me to run about, lie down and go to sleep, rush about, and then run about again, But I didn’t want to do any of that.’”

Kingsley Amis | The Anti-Death League
