Music is...

"Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything."

“Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul.”

“So long as the human spirit thrives on this planet, music in some living form will accompany and sustain it and give it expressive meaning

"Music is what feelings sound like"

“To stop the flow of music would be like the stopping of time itself, incredible and inconceivable.”

"If Music be the food of love - play on "

"It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony. "
