“The trouble with music appreciation in general is that people are taught to have too much respect for music they should be taught to love it instead.”
“The Church knew what the psalmist knew: Music praises God. Music is well or better able to praise him than the building of the church and all its decoration; it is the Church's greatest ornament.”
“The principle of the endless melody is the perpetual becoming of a music that never had any reason for starting, any more than it has any reason for ending”
