"It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness & of pain: of strength & freedom. The beauty of disappointment & never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature, & everlasting beauty of monotony."

-Benjamin Britten while listening to the last song in Mahler's song cycle Das Lied von der Erde
