"Since time began, priests, healers, shamans, mystics, medicine men, and magicians of all persuasions have been aware of the power of specified verbal formulae, spoken or sung out loud, or intoned silently within."

BRIAN AND ESTHER CROWLEY

"Since it is very rare in our society to be personally sung to, this experience usually awakens the soul and speaks to the heart, helping that person to hear and sing their own song."

CAITLIN MATTHEWS

"Music has the capacity to touch the innermost reaches of the soul and music gives flight to the imagination."

PLATO

Songs are thoughts, sung with the breath when people are moved by great forces and ordinary speech no longer suffices."

ORPINGALIK

"There is nothing better than music as a means for the upliftment of the soul.

HAZRAT INAYAT KHAN

"The man that hath no music in himself
Nor is much moved with concord of sweet sounds
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils
The motion of his spirit are dull as night
And his affections dark as Erebus
Let no such man be trusted.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
