Quote of the Day (Albert Camus, on Music, ‘The Expression of an Unknowable Reality’)
"
Music is the expression of an unknowable reality.
This reality makes do with a single translation, the most beautiful and the
noblest of all. The translation, Music, allows us to form, with the feeble
elements at our disposition and by the route of our imperfect minds, an ideal
world, which is particular to each one of us, which differs from one person to
another.”—French Nobel Literature laureate Albert Camus (1913-1960), “Essay on
Music,” in Cahiers II: Youthful Writings, translated by Ellen
Conroy Kennedy (1976)
