Eyes and ears are poor witnesses to people if they have uncultured souls.

Hearing is a form of touch. I could hear less through the ears but more through the body.
For about seven years. I really like it there. There are a lot of great musicians. The scene is very open. A lot of stuff going on. People's ears are really open, they are not closed. A lot of scenes here, people just get tunnel vision and are into one thing.

There's this bubblegum pop thing which is prevalent now that we haven't had before. People's ears are slightly de-tuned; they've been exposed to this weird synthetic, implausibly upbeat, Mickey Mouse stuff which I think is just weird; it's not really a human sound.
When we go to play, you flip around and flash around and everything, and then they're not gonna see nothin' but what their eyes see. Forget about their ears.

A writer should write with his eyes and a painter paint with his ears.

This is courtship all the world over - the man all tongue; the woman all ears.
