"When we separate music from life we get art"

- John Cage

About this Quote

John Cage's quote talks to the concept that music and life are linked. Music is a reflection of life, and life is a reflection of music. Music is a way to reveal feelings, ideas, and feelings that can not be revealed in words. Music is a method to get in touch with others, to share experiences, and to develop a sense of neighborhood. When we different music from life, we are entrusted to art. Art is a representation of life, but it is not life itself. Art is a way to reveal ideas, feelings, and emotions in a more abstract method. Art can be used to explore the depths of the human experience, to express the beauty of the world, and to develop something distinct and significant. By separating music from life, we can produce art that is a reflection of life, but is not life itself.
