"What is classical music if not the epitome of sensuality, passion, and understated erotica that popular music, even with all of its energy and life, cannot even begin to touch?"

- Lara St. John

About this Quote

St. John sees classical music as the supreme kind of expression, evoking extreme emotions and stirring the senses in such a way that popular music can not.
