"There is something very wonderful in music.
Words are wonderful enough; but music is even more wonderful.

It speaks not to our thoughts as words do; it speaks straight to our hearts and spirits, to the very core and root of our souls.

Music soothes us, stirs us up; it puts noble feelings in us; it melts us to tears; we know not how; - it is a language by itself, just as perfect, in its way, as speech, as words; just as divine, just as blessed."
~Charles Kingsley



"Yet there is one thing the world…cannot take from us, and that is the deep and abiding joy and consolation perpetuated in great music.
Here the spirit may find home and relief when all else fails."
~Eric Fenby, Delius as I Knew Him


"Music is a higher revelation than philosophy."
-Beethoven


"Without music, life would be a mistake."
-Nieztsche

"Words are the pen the heart, but music is the pen the soul."
~Shneur Zalman


"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life."
-Berthold Auerbach


"Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to remain silent."
-Victor Hugo
