Perfume was first created to mask the stench of foul and offensive odors... Spices and bold flavorings were created to mask the taste of putrid and rotting meat... What then was music created for? Was it to drown out the voices of others, or the voices within ourselves? I think I know. Emilie Autumn
About This Quote

Music was first created to mask the stench of foul and offensive odors. We may never stop smelling the stench of the world but that does not mean that we should stop making music to mask it. Instead, we should use our music to drown out the voices of others, or the voices within ourselves. The idea is that music can help people escape their own inner voices.
