Pianos, unlike people, sing when you give them your every growl. They know how to dive into the pit of your stomach and harmonize with your roars when you’ve split yourself open. And when they see you, guts shining, brain pulsing, heart right there exposed in a rhythm that beats need need, need need, need need, pianos do not run. And so she plays. Francesca Lia Block
About This Quote

Pianos, unlike people, sing when you give them your every growl. They know how to dive into the pit of your stomach and harmonize with your roars when you’ve split yourself open. And when they see you, guts shining, brain pulsing, heart right there exposed in a rhythm that beats need need, need need, need need, pianos do not run. And so she plays.

It's hard for people to see the world for what it is because they always want to find fault with something or someone. They want to be right or correct or make everyone else wrong or incorrect. But the world doesn't care about their opinions; the world only cares about what's real.

It doesn't matter what you think of anything; it only matters what you can do. That's why piano players are so strong and why pianos don't run away from them at the first sign of danger. They're not afraid of failure because they know that no matter what happens, they're still playing just hours before the deadline hits and they have to hit that high C note yet again.
