Listen Quotes

Jarvis Cocker

The need to make music, and to listen to it, is universally expressed by human beings.

It is, like speech, a dominant aspect of human biology.
Lewis Thomas

Music, Human, Cannot

Liz Phair

I think that's healthy and actually restoring a more natural way.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Different, Small, Become
