“I’ve bought a lot of music, I have everything, piano literature, and I used to read it, and I used to play it, badly. Some passages maybe not so badly. To see how it worked and so on. It wasn’t good in terms of playing, but I had some pleasure. And pleasure is our subject. How to be serious over a lifetime about one’s modest, private pleasures.”
–Philip Roth, The Dying Animal
