You really can have too much...
This is from the movie called "
The Legend of 1900":
Take a piano. Keys begin. Keys end. You know there are 88 of them. Nobody can tell you any different. They are not infinite. You are infinite. And on those 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 and you roll in, out in front of me, a keyboard of millions of keys, millions and billions of keys that never end, and that's the truth, Max, that they never end. That keyboard is infinite. And if that keyboard is infinite then on that keyboard, there is no music you can play. You're sitting on the wrong bench. That's God's piano.
...
How do you do it down there? How do you choose just one? Just one woman? One house? One piece of land to call your own; one landscape to look at? One way to die? All that world just weighing down on you. And you don't even know where it comes to an end! And aren't you ever just scared of breaking apart at the thought of it? At the enormity of living it?
...
You played out your happiness, but on a piano that was not infinite. I learned to live that way." -- 1900
If you have too much, you won't know what to do with it all.
Amazing movie...good music.
