abstraction, n.
Love is one kind of abstraction. And then there are those nights when I sleep alone, when I curl into a pillow that isn’t you, when I hear the tiptoe sounds that aren’t yours. It’s not as if I can conjure you there completely. I must embrace the idea of you instead.
(David Levithan, The Lover’s Dictionary)
Pianist Stephen Hough on what it is to be a musician:
“….the ones who do not let music wash over them like a bubble bath but who actively swim in the water. When vibrations in the air create vibrations in your soul you’re a member of the club.”
