Favorite Quote: "It is a curious subject of observation and inquiry, whether hatred and love be not the same thing at bottom. Each, in its utmost development, supposes a high degree of intimacy and heart-knowledge; each renders one individual dependent for the food of his affections and spiritual life upon another; each leaves the passionate lover, or the no less passionate hater, forlorn and desolate by the withdrawal of his object." - from The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne Favorite Musical Artist: Beethoven and Leon Fleisher Favorite pieces to perform with MIHNUET: Beethoven Piano Sonatas Favorite Weekend Hobbies: Eating long meals.
