Notable Quotes

❝ The music is pitiful, all the same, all similar to one another (so much so that you can hardly distinguish the different tracks unless for the canonical musical interruption between one song and another), and dance, pop rhythms, or whatever the hell you want, which, with dance, pop, or whatever the hell you want, have absolutely nothing to do with it.
