Oliver Sacks
“There are, of course, inherent tendencies to repetition in music itself. Our poetry, our ballads, our songs are full of repetition; nursery rhymes and the little chants and songs we use to teach young children have choruses and refrains. We are attracted to repetition, even as adults; we want the stimulus and the reward again and again, and in music we get it. Perhaps, therefore, we should not be surprised, should not complain if the balance sometimes shifts too far and our musical sensitivity becomes a vulnerability.”
Oliver Sacks, Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain

Seanan McGuire
“Sarah turned her narrow-eyed gaze on him, making me glad once more that Antimony's comic books got it wrong, and telepaths can't actually kill you with their brains. Give you a whopping headache and earworm you with annoying jingles, yes; kill you, no. (Although sometimes, when she's managed to stick "The Happy Banana Song" in my head for a week, I sort of wish she could kill people with her brain. It would be kinder.)”
Seanan McGuire, Discount Armageddon

Cheryl Strayed
“When I wasn't internally grumbling about my physical state, I found my mind playing and replaying scraps of songs and jingles in an eternal, nonsensical loop, as if there were a mix-tape radio station in my head. Up against the silence, my brain answered back with fragmented lines from tunes I'd heard over the course of my life - bits from songs I loved and clear renditions of jingles from commercials that almost drove me mad.”
Cheryl Strayed, Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail

Pedro Almod贸var
“Pensamientos y canciones me invaden continuamente e insisten en acompa帽arme cuando estoy en silencio, que es la mayor parte del d铆a que no ruedo. Sobre todo canciones. A veces es la misma canci贸n repetida una y otra vez, hasta que mi desesperado cerebro, ejecutando una orden m铆a, la sustituye por otra que a su vez se repite en bucle y as铆 hasta que me duermo. Una tortura.”
Pedro Almod贸var, El 煤ltimo sue帽o

James Hauenstein
“You say tomato, I say kumato. You say campari, I say a berry!”
