"Looking back, I suppose that it might seem that I had a restricetd life, but I never thought so. I still don't. I didn't have friends of my own age, but I didn't miss them. I got so much more out of music... to have been able to love something so intensely since I was small is tremendous. No one who has not experienced it can know just what it means to have a private world of your own to go into, to be quite by yourself whenever you need it."
-cellist Jacqueline du Pre
