The project's title, Higgins,
pays homage to George Bernard Shaw's play, Pygmalion:
| HIGGINS [following him, and standing beside him on his left] Tired of listening to sounds? |
| PICKERING. Yes. It's a fearful strain. I rather fancied myself because I can pronounce twenty-four distinct vowel sounds; but your hundred and thirty beat me. I cant hear a bit of difference between most of them. |
| HIGGINS [chuckling, and
going over to the piano to eat sweets]
Oh, that comes with practice. You hear no difference at first; but you
keep on listening, and presently you find theyre all as different as A
from B. Pygmalion
II.6-8
