Who hears music, feels his solitude Peopled at once.

Robert Browning
About This Quote

If you listen to music, you become more alone than ever before. No matter how many people are in the room with you, you feel completely alone once the music starts. In fact, you can feel even more alone when a small group of people is listening to music together.
