>“To write is to forget. Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life. Music soothes, the visual arts exhilarates, the performing arts (such as acting and dance) entertain. Literature, however, retreats from life by turning in into slumber. The other arts make no such retreat— some because they use visible and hence vital formulas, others because they live from human life itself. This isn't the case with literature. Literature simulates life. A novel is a story of what never was, a play is a novel without narration. A poem is the expression of ideas or feelings a language no one uses, because no one talks in verse.”
Is this true?

Music doesn't just soothe, it can bring about a wide spectrum of emotions. I do agree though, I get far more carried away and do not notice my surroundings reading than listening.

I would like to say I feel pity but it's impossible to do so. Independent wealth is literally the only thing in modern life worth being truly happy about. Maybe a little real poverty is the reality check you need to set you straight and pull your sad soggy head xenoestrogenized head out from your rump. If you are gonna sit around and use your money like Kleenex, go ahead and send it to me instead.
