I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.—Mary Anne Evans

Without music, life would be a mistake.—Friedrich Nietzsche
The immoral profession of musical criticism must be abolished.—Richard Wagner (I like irony)
