A lot of music is mathematics. It's balance.

A lot of music is mathematics. It's balance.

Summary

This quote suggests that music can be seen as a form of mathematics because it relies on balance and structure. Just like mathematics, music requires precise calculations and proportions to create harmony and coherence. The various components of music, such as melody, rhythm, and chords, need to be balanced and organized in order to create a pleasant and coherent sound. This perspective highlights the underlying mathematical principles that contribute to the construction and arrangement of musical compositions.

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is not safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
