Quote by Leonard Bernstein

Einstein said that the most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. So why do so many of us try to explain the beauty of music, thus depriving it of its mystery?

Einstein said that the most beautiful experience we can have

Summary

This quote reflects Einstein's belief in the profoundness of embracing the unknown and preserving the enigma of experiences. Specifically, it questions the tendency in human nature to divulge analytical explanations for the beauty of music, resulting in the diminishing of its magical allure. By attempting to meticulously decipher and dissect music's charm, we risk unraveling its mysterious essence. Einstein's words invite us to revel in the sheer wonder of music, appreciating it for the emotions it evokes rather than trying to unravel its intricacies.

How frail and ephemeral is the material substance of letters

How frail and ephemeral is the material substance of letters, which makes their very survival so hazardous. Print has a permanence of its own, though it may not be much worth preserving, but a letter! Conveyed by uncertain transportation, over which the sender has no control; committed to a single individual who may be careless or inappreciative; left to the mercy of future generations, of families maybe anxious to suppress the past, of the accidents of removals and house-cleanings, or of mere ignorance. How often it has been by the veriest chance that they have survived at all.
