Hello! And welcome to The Arts Are Life. I write essays about movies I’ve watched, books I’ve read and music I’ve listened to. I also write short stories and poems. I am a musician who plays the cello. And I also love drawing in my spare time (this is one of my drawings to the left.)
“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” -Plato
“One good thing about music: when it hits you, you feel no pain.” Bob Marley
“Cinema can fill in the empty spaces of your life and your loneliness.” -Pedro Almodovar (1949-present)
“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn’t happen much, though.”
-Holden Caulfield, main character in The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
