"I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music. "- George Eliot
Not only is the author of this quote an inspiration, SHE is also a radical role model. In order to have her work accepted in a male dominant society and to escape the stereotypical ideals that women only are capable of writing lighthearted romances in the 1800’s Mary Anne Evans took a male pen name.
Back to the quote, I think she describes the power and importance of music brilliantly. For me music has the ability to drastically change a mood, an opinion, even one’s life. As she says it, life is simple when you have music.
