About This Quote

In the Star Wars movie series, the famous line "For a moment, I had a sense of infinite loss and sadness… Somewhere among the frenzy of information noise that daily rattled the lives of men, I thought I might have heard a few notes, a few notes that denoted the movements of gods." is said by Han Solo as he describes how he felt when he first encountered Luke Skywalker. In this case, Han Solo is describing his early encounter with Luke as if he was hearing a melody he had never heard before. This line is an example of one of those moments when people can’t help but stop what they are doing and listen to something for a moment or two.
