I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.

Oscar Wilde, once said, “I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.”

River Song, later tells the Doctor, “Oh, it’s my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on a spaceship.”

Damian, wielding a Katana: Thomas! I demand you come back this instant.

Duke already running, Alfred (the cat) in hand: Nah man she likes me better.

[Damian, furious battle cry.]

[Duke, scampering to the ‘upstairs’ garage.]

Damian, foolishly stepping into the garage looking around: One last chance Thomas.

Duke, appearing behind him: Nah.

[Duke closes the door and locks Damian in the garage]

Damian, enraged shrieking: THOMAS LET ME OUT THIS INSTANT. I WILL NOT LET YOU GET AWAY WITH THIS. EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE FROM NOW ON WILL BE YOUR LAST.

Duke, already walking away: And don’t scratch the Bentley! Bruce really likes that one.

He’s not any better, but to be fair, he’s not claiming to be.

“The ringmaster gone mad.”

“For you are the decaying society,

And me, a hare with a tiger’s mask.

So tell me, ringmaster, tell me,

Tell me to control my wrath.”

In the 1980s in France, musicologists and archaeologists Iégor Reznikoff and Michel Dauvois used their voices to explore caves with notable Paleolithic wall paintings. By singing simple notes and whistling, they mapped their perceptions of the caves’ acoustics. They found that paintings were often located in places that were particularly resonant. Animal paintings were common in resonant chambers and in places along the walls that produced strong reverberation. As they crawled through narrow tunnels, they discovered painted red dots exactly located in the most resonant places. The entrances to these tunnels were also marked with paintings. Resonant recesses in walls were especially heavily ornamented.

In a 2017 study, a dozen acousticians, archaeologists, and musicians measured the sonic qualities of cave interiors in northern Spain. The team, led by acoustic scientist Bruno Fazenda, used speakers, computers, and microphone arrays to measure the behavior of precisely calibrated tones within the cave. The caves they studied contain wall art spanning much of the Paleolithic, dating from about forty thousand years to fifteen thousand years ago. The art includes handprints, abstract points and lines, and a bestiary of Paleolithic animals including birds, fish, horses, bovids, reindeer, bear, ibex, cetaceans, and humanlike figures. From hundreds of standardized measurements, the team found that painted red dots and lines, the oldest wall markings, are associated with parts of the cave where low frequencies resonate and sonic clarity is high due to modest reverberation. These would have been excellent places for speech and more complex forms of music, not muddied by excessive reverberation. Animal paintings and handprints were also likely to be in places where clarity is high and overall reverberation is low but with a good low-frequency response. These are the qualities that we seek now in modern performance spaces.
