The Meaning of Life, Part III

I can't help it: I have to collect quotes like this one, now that I have this easy way to save them for future reference. From a New York Times Magazine interview with singer Katell Keinig, whose music sounds very compelling:

For me, listening to music is akin to a religious experience; it's the closest thing to a religion I have. I mean, I wouldn't put it in terms of God, because I'm an atheist, but I think humans are hard-wired for religion, hard-wired with a sense of divinity, however you interpret that. There's probably some evolutionary advantage to it — this urge for meaning."
