They provide the music.”– Mark Zuckerberg Related Quotes “Well,” he said with equanimity, “you see, in my opinion there is no point at all in talking about music. I never talk about music.

But, you see, I am a musician, not a professor, and I don’t believe that, as regards music, there is the least point in being right. Music does not depend on being right, on having good taste and education and all that.””Indeed.

H. Auden
