Music was more than subjective; it was erratic. It was the ship on the horizon that one sailor saw, the other sailor didn’t.

David Arnold
About This Quote

Henry Miller said, “Music was more than subjective; it was erratic. It was the ship on the horizon that one sailor saw, the other sailor didn’t.” He wanted music to allow people to see what they couldn’t see in their daily lives. The writer believed that, “Music is something that is very personal, and it is something that can be described in words, but I don’t know if you could ever describe what it is to really hear it.”
