“Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.”
― Maya Angelou

“Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter -- to all these music gives voice, but in such a way that we are transported from the world of unrest to a world of peace, and see reality in a new way, as if we were sitting by a mountain lake and contemplating hills and woods and clouds in the tranquil and fathomless water.”
― Albert Schweitzer

“Without music, life would be a mistake.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

“Music . . . can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable.”
― Leonard Bernstein
