Boundless optimism

An exchange

Friday, July 13th, 2007

with a friend, during a performance of Schubert’s 9th (7th?) symphony:

J: If music this beautiful can exist, the world can’t be such a bad place.
Friend of J: You know, it was written a long time ago.

But it still exists. Life is beautiful.
