"This was the year he rode the subway to the ends of the city, two  
hundred miles of track. He liked to stand at the front of the first  
car, hands flat against the glass. The train smashed through the  
dark. People stood on local platforms staring nowhere, a look they'd  
been practicing for years. He kind of wondered, speeding past, who  
they really were. His body fluttered in the fastest stretches. They  
went so fast sometimes he thought they were on the edge of no- 
control. The noise was pitched to a level of pain he absorbed as a  
personal test. Another crazy-ass curve. There was so much iron in the  
sound of those curves he could almost taste it, like a toy you put in  
your mouth when you are little." — Don DeLillo, Libra (1988), p. 3

"Many people in our society now go around the streets and in the  
buses and so forth playing radios with earphones on and they don't  
hear the world around them. They hear only what they have chosen to  
hear. I can't understand why they cut themselves off from that rich  
experience which is free. I think this is the beginning of music, and  
I think that the end of music may very well be in those record  
collections." — John Cage in conversation with Ev Grimes 1984, in  
Kostelanetz 1988, p. 2
