Johannes Brahms was derided by many of contemporary composers and critics as lightweight, inconsequential. Audiences were not always enamoured by his works either. The premiere of his first piano concerto was met with hisses. It is a gem. There is no one-word equivalent combining the meanings of joy, strength, confidence and optimism, but I think the third movement of that concerto is its musical equivalent.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould

I was given a year of free milkshakes once. The year passed and I hadn’t bothered to get even one.

She has other stuff, but this one has the best skirt for Samantha. It's a Joe Walsh song, for you youngsters.
