Quote by Tom T. Hall

It used to be that you'd have a song recorded by a major country artist and if it was a hit, you could buy a car. Now you can buy a dealership.

Summary

This quote highlights the drastic changes in the music industry's financial landscape. In the past, a songwriter would earn a significant amount of money by having their song recorded by a popular country artist. The success of one hit could result in a substantial reward, such as being able to afford a car. However, with the rise of digital streaming platforms and greater opportunities for independent artists, the potential for financial success has increased dramatically. Today, a successful songwriter has the potential to earn far more, with the analogy of being able to afford a car replaced by the analogy of being able to own a dealership, reflecting the exponential growth in revenue possibilities.

The tragedy is that we cannot believe the dogmas of religion

The tragedy is that we cannot believe the dogmas of religion and metaphysics if we have the strict methods of truth in heart and head, but on the other hand, we have become through the development of humanity so tenderly suffering that we need the highest kind of means of salvation and consolation: whence arises the danger that man may bleed to death through the truth that he realises.

Friedrich Nietzsche

There is something sustaining in the very agitation that accompanies the first shocks of trouble, just as an acute pain is often a stimulus, and produces an excitement which is transient strength. It is in the slow, changed life that follows--in the time when sorrow has become stale, and has no longer an emotive intensity that counteracts its pain--in the time when day follows day in dull unexpectant sameness, and trial is a dreary routine--it is then that despair threatens; it is then that the peremptory hunger of the soul is felt, and eye and ear are strained after some unlearned secret of our existence, which shall give to endurance the nature of satisfaction.
