"There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats." -- Albert Schweitzer --

 "I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music." -- Billy Joel --

 "If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music." -- Albert Einstein --

"How is it that music can, without words, evoke our laughter, our fears, our highest aspirations?" -- Jane Swan --

"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything. -- Plato --

"Music is like a dream. One that I cannot hear." -- Ludwig van Beethoven -- 

 "Music is a language that doesn't speak in particular words. It speaks in emotions, and if it's in the bones, it's in the bones." -- Keith Richards -- 

"We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once." -- Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche --

"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music." --Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche --

"Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent." -- Victor Hugo --

"Once you learn to read, you will be forever free." -- Frederick Douglass --

"I know the resurrection is a fact, and Watergate proved it to me. How? Because 12 men testified they had seen Jesus raised from the dead, then they proclaimed that truth for 40 years, never once denying it. Every one was beaten, tortured, stoned and put in prison. They would not have endured that if it weren't true. Watergate embroiled 12 of the most powerful men in the world - and they couldn't keep a lie for three weeks. You're telling me 12 apostles could keep a lie for 40 years? Absolutely impossible." -- Charles Colson --

"The Bible - banned, burned, beloved. More widely read, more frequently attacked than any other book in history. Generations of intellectuals have attempted to discredit it; dictators of every age have outlawed it and executed those who read it. Yet soldiers carry it into battle beleiving it is more powerful than their weapons. Fragments of it smuggled into solitary prison cells have transformed ruthless killers into gentle saints. Pieced together scraps of Scripture have converted whole villages of pagan Indians." -- Charles Colson --
