A baby boy was found by a coal worker in 1900 on ocean liner. He was named Danny Boodman TD Lemon 1900 after the coal worker’s own name. He later became an accomplished pianist and lived his whole life on the Victorian-era ship, never setting foot on land. 

What the hell do you think about when you're playing? Where does your mind go when you hit the keys?

Last night I was in a beautiful country. Women had perfume in their hair, everything glowed. It was full of tides.

“He traveled. And each time he ended up some place different. In the heart of London, on a train in the middle of the country, on the edge of a giant volcano, in the biggest church in the world...He traveled.”

It's like a big scream, telling you that life is immense. Once you've finally heard it, then you really know what you have to do to go on living. I can't stay here forever. The ocean would never tell me a thing. But if I get off, live on land for a couple of years, then I'll be normal, just like the others. 

All that city... You just couldn't see an end to it. The end! Please, could you show me where it ends?...It wasn't what I saw that stopped me, Max. It was what I didn't see. 

Take a piano. The keys begin, the keys end. You know there are 88 of them and no-one can tell you differently. They are not infinite, you are infinite. And on those 88 keys the music that you can make is infinite. I like that. That I can live by. 

But you get me up on that gangway （舷梯）and roll out a keyboard with millions of keys, and that's the truth, there's no end to them, that keyboard is infinite. But if that keyboard is infinite there's no music you can play. You're sitting on the wrong bench. That's God's piano. 

Did you see the streets? There were thousands of them! How do you choose just one? One woman, one house, one piece of land to call your own, one landscape to look at, one way to die. 

When Max asked what’s wrong with him, he simply said, I can’t help it, music makes me cry.

He cried, not because the competitor’s arrogance pissed him off, but because the music touches him.
