About This Quote

Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid meaning time is valuable only when it is spent doing things that matter. Doing something for the sake of time is not valuable. Doing things because you want to experience them, because you have to do them or for some other reason is what makes life valuable.
