Quotation

exchange between father and daughter P2 of 3: You gave everything to your music. Music, music, music! There was nothing else in your life. Only music and arrogance. Never a caress, never a hug, never a kiss, nothing. You never knew anything about your children. You never knew if we were happy, if we were suffering. Nothing. Everything was on Mommy's shoulders. At home the only thing you would say to her were the two words: "Quiet, Melanie." And Mom would explain to us: "Quiet, Daddy is composing". "Quiet, Daddy is resting, he has a concert tonight." "Quiet, Daddy is on the phone with someone important." "Quiet, Daddy has Stravinsky coming to the house later tonight". He wanted to be a Stravinsky, but he never had a single drop of his genius. "Quiet, Melanie!" Were the only two things you knew how to say.
