"Art has always been my salvation. And my gods are Herman Melville, Emily Dickinson, Mozart. I believe in them with all my heart. And when Mozart is playing in my room, I am in conjunction with something I canâ€™t explain â€” I donâ€™t need to. I know that if thereâ€™s a purpose for life, it was for me to hear Mozart. Or if I walk in the woods and I see an animal, the purpose of my life was to see that animal. I can recollect it, I can notice it. Iâ€™m here to take note of. And that is beyond my ego, beyond anything that belongs to me, an observer, an observer."
