More From Gustav Mahler

That is another chamber of my heart that shows no electrical activity - the chamber that used to flicker into life when i saw a film that moved me, or read a book that inspired me, or listened to music that made me want to cry. i closed that chamber myself, for all the usual reasons. and now i seem to have made a pact with some philistine devil: if i don't attempt to re-open it, i will be allowed just enough energy and optimism to get through a working day without wanting to hang myself.

My musical influence is really from my father. he was a dj in college. my parents met at new york university. so he listened to, you know, motown, and he listened to bob dylan. he listened to grateful dead and rolling stones, but he also listened to reggae music. and he collected vinyl.

To draw an analogy: a man's suffering is similar to the behavior of a gas. if a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. thus suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering is great or little. therefore the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative.

Space expands or contracts in the tensions and functions through which it exists. space is not a static, inert thing. space is alive; space is dynamic; space is imbued with movement expressed by forces and counterforces; space vibrates and resounds with color, light and form in the rhythm of life.

But as van casually directed the searchlight of backthought into that maze of the past where the mirror-lined narrow paths not only took different turns, but used different levels (as a mule-drawn cart passes under the arch of a viaduct along which a motor skims by), he found himself tackling, in still vague and idle fashion, the science that was to obsess his mature years - problems of space and time, space versus time, time-twisted space, space as time, time as space - and space breaking away from time, in the final tragic triumph of human cogitation: i am because i die.

The ability of so many people to live comfortably with the idea of capital punishment is perhaps a clue to how so many europeans were able to live with the idea of the holocaust: once you accept the notion that the state has the right to kill someone and the right to define what is a capital crime, aren't you halfway there?
