The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.Abraham Lincoln

Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason.Albert Camus
Mozart's music is so pure and beautiful that I see it as a reflection of the inner beauty of the universe.Albert Einstein
