When god made man out of clay, and asked the soul to enter, the soul refused to enter into this prison-house. Then God commanded the angels to sing, and as the angels sang, the soul entered, intoxicated by the song. - Hazrat Inayat Khan
Without music life would be a mistake. ~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons. You will
find it is to the soul what a water bath is to the body. ~Oliver

evidence in their opinions and lives that they have heard it. ~Henry
David Thoreau
Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life. ~Ludwig van Beethoven
I have my own particular sorrows, loves, delights; and you have yours.
But sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, love, belong to all of us, in all
times and in all places. Music is the only means whereby we feel these
emotions in their universality. ~H.A. Overstreet
Music cleanses the understanding; inspires it, and lifts it into a
realm which it would not reach if it were left to itself. ~Henry Ward

am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for mankind and makes
them spiritually drunken. ~Ludwig van Beethoven

like last week, but music right now absorbs you and places you in the
present moment. ~Sonnett Branche
Its language is a language which the soul alone understands, but which the soul can never translate. ~Arnold Bennett

before speech, and it is above and beyond all words. ~Robert G.
Ingersoll

By Man than comes of music.
~Robert Browning
The discovery of song and the creation of musical instruments both owed

transcending thought, and disregarded at our peril. ~Richard Baker
Music is love in search of a word. ~Sidney Lanier
Music is well said to be the speech of angels. ~Thomas Carlyle, Essays, "The Opera"
