 . . . music . . .

 (from http://musicmagic.wordpress.com/2008/07/16/quotes-about-music/)   
Were it not for music, we might in these days say, the Beautiful is dead.
– Benjamin Disraeli

Music is what feelings sound like.
– Author Unknown
   
Music is the poetry of the air.
– Richter
   
If I were to begin life again, I would devote it to music.  It is the only cheap and unpunished rapture upon earth. 
- Sydney Smith
   
Men profess to be lovers of music, but for the most part they give no evidence in their opinions and lives that they have heard it.
– Henry David Thoreau

Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.
– Ludwig van Beethoven

I have my own particular sorrows, loves, delights; and you have yours.  But sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, love, belong to all of us, in all times and in all places.  Music is the only means whereby we feel these emotions in their universality.
– H.A. Overstreet

My idea is that there is music in the air, music all around us; the world is full of it, and you simply take as much as you require.
– Edward Elgar
   
Music cleanses the understanding; inspires it, and lifts it into a realm which it would not reach if it were left to itself.
– Henry Ward Beecher
   
Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence.
– Robert Fripp

(. . . From Hugo Schwyzer http://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/why-does-it-matter-how-many-partners-shes-had/)
". . . It’s understandable to be curious about the sexual lives of our peers. It makes sense to want to know what the averages are. (According to the experts at the Kinsey Institute, the average number of lifetime sexual partners for men aged 30 to 44 is around seven, while for women in that same age group, it’s four—both lower than you might think).

But the number has different meanings for men and women. The old double standard is still alive and well: a man with more sexual partners than his buddies may be teasingly called a “man whore,” but the epithet is a compliment, not an insult. Ask a woman who has dared reveal her number to someone who considers it too high, and she’ll surely tell you a story of being “slut-shamed.”

It’s quite common for a guy to worry about a girlfriend’s sexual past. Too many men are still raised to see sex as crude competition, in which bedding a woman who has already had a lot of lovers counts less than scoring with a woman who is “hard to get.” But I think the average guy’s worry is simpler than that. The more men his girlfriend has slept with, the greater number of lovers to which she can compare his skills. . . "

My question, "Who cares?"
