"Music is no illusion, but rather a revelation. Its triumphant power lies in the fact that it reveals to us beauties we find in no other sphere; and the apprehension of them is not transitory, but a perpetual reconcilement to life." -Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For while knowledge defines all we know and understand, imagination points us to all we might yet discover and create." -Albert Einstein
